lockdep, x86: account for irqs enabled in paranoid_exit

I hit the check_flags error of lockdep:

 WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2893 check_flags+0x1a7/0x1d0()
 [...]
 hardirqs last  enabled at (12567): [<ffffffff8026206a>] local_bh_enable+0xaa/0x110
 hardirqs last disabled at (12569): [<ffffffff80610c76>] int3+0x16/0x40
 softirqs last  enabled at (12566): [<ffffffff80514d2b>] lock_sock_nested+0xfb/0x110
 softirqs last disabled at (12568): [<ffffffff8058454e>] tcp_prequeue_process+0x2e/0xa0

The check_flags warning of lockdep tells me that lockdep thought interrupts
were disabled, but they were really enabled.

The numbers in the above parenthesis show the order of events:

 12566: softirqs last enabled:  lock_sock_nested
 12567: hardirqs last enabled:  local_bh_enable
 12568: softirqs last disabled: tcp_prequeue_process
 12566: hardirqs last disabled: int3

int3 is a breakpoint!

Examining this further, I have CONFIG_NET_TCPPROBE enabled which adds
break points into the kernel.

The paranoid_exit of the return of int3 does not account for enabling
interrupts on return to kernel. This code is a bit tricky since it
is also used by the nmi handler (when lockdep is off), and we must be
careful about the swapgs. We can not call kernel code after the swapgs
has been performed.

[ Impact: fix lockdep check_flags warning + self-turn-off ]
