From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming at gmail.com>
This patch introduces macro of trace_ret_hardirqs_on, which will
call asm_trace_hardirqs_on if I flag in the stored CPSR is zero.
The patch adds trace_ret_hardirqs_on before returning to user
or exception mode once disable_irq was called explicitly, which does
fix the inbalance of hardirqs trace and make lockdep happy. The patch
does fix this kind of lockdep warning below:
PU: Testing write buffer coherency: ok
