sched: Call tick_check_idle before __irq_enter
When CPU is idle and on first interrupt, irq_enter calls tick_check_idle()
to notify interruption from idle. But, there is a problem if this call
is done after __irq_enter, as all routines in __irq_enter may find
stale time due to yet to be done tick_check_idle.
Specifically, trace calls in __irq_enter when they use global clock and also
account_system_vtime change in this patch as it wants to use sched_clock_cpu()
to do proper irq timing.
But, tick_check_idle was moved after __irq_enter intentionally to
prevent problem of unneeded ksoftirqd wakeups by the commit ee5f80a:
irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check
Impact: avoid spurious ksoftirqd wakeups
Moving tick_check_idle() before __irq_enter and wrapping it with
local_bh_enable/disable would solve both the problems.
