Subject: x86/apic: Fix suspicious RCU usage in smp_trace_call_function_interrupt()

From: Dave Jones <davej@codemonkey.org.uk>

commit 7834c10313fb823e538f2772be78edcdeed2e6e3 upstream.

Since 4.4, I've been able to trigger this occasionally:

-------------------------------
./arch/x86/include/asm/msr-trace.h:47 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
no locks held by swapper/3/0.

stack backtrace:

Move the entering_irq() call before ack_APIC_irq(), because entering_irq()
tells the RCU susbstems to end the extended quiescent state, so that the
following trace call in ack_APIC_irq() works correctly.
