If hard_irq_disable() is called while interrupts are already soft-disabled
(which is the most common case) all is already well.

However you can (and in some cases want) to call it while everything is
enabled (to make sure you don't get a lazy even, for example before entry
into KVM guests) and in this case we need to inform the irq tracer that
the irqs are going off.

We have to change the inline into a macro to avoid an include circular
dependency hell hole.

Tested on pseries, Scott, I don't expect a problem with that patch especially
since most callers already are soft disabled, so I'll merge it now along with
my other pending stuff and you can simplify your KVM one.

Could we simplify this as follows:

+#define hard_irq_disable()	do {			\
+	__hard_irq_disable();				\
+	if (get_paca()->soft_enabled) {			\
+		trace_hardirqs_off();			\
+		get_paca()->soft_enabled = 0;		\
+	}						\
+	get_paca()->irq_happened |= PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS;	\
+} while(0)

I'd rather not. When lockdep is not enabled trace_hardirqs_off() is a
nop and thus we have no conditional at all which is arguably better...

Cheers,
Ben.
