There are two issues with the current layout of tick_irq_enter() as
it's called before HARDIRQ_OFFSET is incremented:

1) It's not correctly handled by lockdep which doesn't consider it as
   hardirq context. And jiffies/timekeeping update take a few interesting
   locks.

2) Softirqs need to be explicitly disabled around it to prevent ksoftirqd
   from being spuriously woken up.

The current call dependency prevents tick_irq_enter() from being moved
after HARDIRQ_OFFSET: account_irq_enter_time() needs to be called before
HARDIRQ_OFFSET incrementation due to cputime index dispatch and it must
be called after tick_irq_enter() which updates the clocks that may be
necessary for cputime accounting.

Here is a proposal to fix this layout.

(The EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() in vtime will likely disappear in the next take
as they don't seem to be necessary anymore, but I'll need to check
that thoroughly).
