Subject: [PATCH 05/11] lockdep: Remove softirq accounting on PREEMPT_RT.

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

There is not really a softirq context on PREEMPT_RT.
Softirqs on PREEMPT_RT are always invoked within the context of a
threaded interrupt handler or within ksoftirqd. The "in-softirq" context
is preemptible and is protected by a per-CPU lock to ensure mutual
exclusion.

There is no difference on PREEMPT_RT between spin_lock_irq() and
spin_lock() because the former does not disable interrupts. Therefore if
a lock is used in_softirq() and locked once with spin_lock_irq() then
lockdep will report this with "inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} ->
{IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage".

Teach lockdep that we don't really do softirqs on -RT.
