lockdep: report broken irq restoration

We generally expect local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() to be
paired and sanely nested, and so local_irq_restore() expects to be
called with irqs disabled. Thus, within local_irq_restore() we only
trace irq flag changes when unmasking irqs.

This means that a sequence such as:

| local_irq_disable();
| local_irq_save(flags);
| local_irq_enable();
| local_irq_restore(flags);

... is liable to break things, as the local_irq_restore() would mask
irqs without tracing this change. Similar problems may exist for
architectures whose arch_irq_restore() function depends on being called
with irqs disabled.

We don't consider such sequences to be a good idea, so let's define
those as forbidden, and add tooling to detect such broken cases.

This patch adds debug code to WARN() when raw_local_irq_restore() is
called with irqs enabled. As raw_local_irq_restore() is expected to pair
with raw_local_irq_save(), it should never be called with irqs enabled.

To avoid the possibility of circular header dependencies between
irqflags.h and bug.h, the warning is handled in a separate C file.

The new code is all conditional on a new CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS symbol
which is independent of CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS. As noted above such cases
will confuse lockdep, so CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP now selects
CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS.
