[PATCH] lockdep: irqtrace subsystem, move account_system_vtime() calls into kernel/softirq.c

Browse Source 
At the moment, powerpc and s390 have their own versions of do_softirq which
include local_bh_disable() and __local_bh_enable() calls.  They end up
calling __do_softirq (in kernel/softirq.c) which also does
local_bh_disable/enable.

Apparently the two levels of disable/enable trigger a warning from some
validation code that Ingo is working on, and he would like to see the outer
level removed.  But to do that, we have to move the account_system_vtime
calls that are currently in the arch do_softirq() implementations for
powerpc and s390 into the generic __do_softirq() (this is a no-op for other
archs because account_system_vtime is defined to be an empty inline
function on all other archs).  This patch does that.
