When the scheduler sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED & we call into the scheduler
from arch/mips/kernel/entry.S we disable interrupts. This is true
regardless of whether we reach work_resched from syscall_exit_work,
resume_userspace or by looping after calling schedule(). Although we
disable interrupts in these paths we don't call trace_hardirqs_off()
before calling into C code which may acquire locks, and we therefore
leave lockdep with an inconsistent view of whether interrupts are
disabled or not when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING & CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP are
both enabled.
Without tracing this interrupt state lockdep will print warnings such
as the following once a task returns from a syscall via
syscall_exit_partial with TIF_NEED_RESCHED set:

Fix this by using the TRACE_IRQS_OFF macro to call trace_hardirqs_off()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled. This is done before invoking
schedule() following the work_resched label because:
1) Interrupts are disabled regardless of the path we take to reach
work_resched() & schedule().
2) Performing the tracing here avoids the need to do it in paths which
disable interrupts but don't call out to C code before hitting a
path which uses the RESTORE_SOME macro that will call
trace_hardirqs_on() or trace_hardirqs_off() as appropriate.
We call trace_hardirqs_on() using the TRACE_IRQS_ON macro before calling
syscall_trace_leave() for similar reasons, ensuring that lockdep has a
consistent view of state after we re-enable interrupts.
