Subject[PATCH RT] sched: let softirq_count() return !0 if inside local_bh_disable()ed section
I don't see a reason why softirq_count() shouldn't reflect the fact that
we are within a local_bh_disable() section. I *think* it was done
primary because in RT the softirq is slightly different (and
preemptible) and it broke some of RCU's assumptions.
I don't see any fallout with this change. Furthermore, all checks like
"WARN_ON(!softirq_count())" will work and we can drop the workaround we
currently have in the queue.
