I'm able to trigger a similar bug too. And this is what I've found.
between:
lockdep_softirq_exit(); and __local_bh_enable(SOFTIRQ_OFFSET);
the __local_bh_enable() is being traced, which means we call the ftrace_ops_list_func() (which is called instead of the direct function in some configs). This does a:
op = rcu_dereference_raw(ftrace_ops_list);
where rcu_dereference_raw() eventually calls rcu_read_lock_held() which calls lock_is_held(), and this does the consistency checks, where lockdep thinks we are no longer in the softirq, but we haven't gotten to the point in __local_bh_enable() where the preempt_count is decremented to state this.
But this doesn't look the same as the branch tracer. I'll continue looking into that one.
