trace, lockdep: manual preempt count adding for local_bh_disable

Impact: fix to preempt trace triggering lockdep check_flag failure

In local_bh_disable, the use of add_preempt_count causes the
preempt tracer to start recording the time preemption is off.
But because it already modified the preempt_count to show
softirqs disabled, and before it called the lockdep code to
handle this, it causes a state that lockdep can not handle.

The preempt tracer will reset the ring buffer on start of a trace,
and the ring buffer reset code does a spin_lock_irqsave. This
calls into lockdep and lockdep will fail when it detects the
invalid state of having softirqs disabled but the internal
current->softirqs_enabled is still set.

The fix is to manually add the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET to preempt count
and call the preempt tracer code outside the lockdep critical
area.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this solution.
