Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups

The tick idle check which is called from irq_enter() was run before
the call to __irq_enter() which did not set the in_interrupt() bits in
preempt_count. That way the raise of a softirq woke up softirqd for
nothing as the softirq was handled on return from interrupt.

Call __irq_enter() before calling into the tick idle check code.

We have two separate nohz function calls in irq_enter() for no good
reason. Just call a single NOHZ function from irq_enter() and call
the bits in the tick code.

This fixes the broken 77af7e3403e7314c47b0c07fbc5e4ef21d939532
("softirq, warning fix: correct a format to avoid a warning") fix
correctly.

The type of a pointer subtraction is not "int", nor is it "long".  It
can be either (or something else).  It's "ptrdiff_t", and the printk
format for it is "%td".

Last -tip gives this warning:

kernel/softirq.c: Dans la fonction «__do_softirq» :
kernel/softirq.c:216: attention : format «%ld» expects type «long int», but argument 2 has type «int»

This patch corrects the format type, and a small mistake in the "softirq" word.

if a preempt count leaks out of a softirq handler it can be very hard
to figure it out. Add a debug check for this.

A previous patch added the early_initcall(), to allow a cleaner hooking of
pre-SMP initcalls.  Now we remove the older interface, converting all
existing users to the new one.
