Can we assume that the "flags" has only 1 bit irq-disable flag?
Since it skips calling raw_local_irq_restore(flags); too,
if there is any state in the flags on any arch, it may change the
result. In that case, we can do it as below (just skipping trace_hardirqs_*)

int disabled = irqs_disabled();

if (!raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags) && disabled)
trace_hardirqs_on();

raw_local_irq_restore(flags);

if (raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags) && !disabled)
trace_hardirqs_off();

Thank you,
