Subject: tracing: Use SOFTIRQ_OFFSET for softirq dectection for more accurate results
From: Pavankumar Kondeti <pkondeti@codeaurora.org>
commit c59f29cb144a6a0dfac16ede9dc8eafc02dc56ca upstream.
The 's' flag is supposed to indicate that a softirq is running. This
can be detected by testing the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_OFFSET.
The current code tests the preempt_count with SOFTIRQ_MASK, which
would be true even when softirqs are disabled but not serving a
softirq.
