It may have interrupts disabled, but does it have the hardirqs_enabled
per_cpu variable set? The above check only looks at that, and doesn't check
if interrupts are actually enabled.

For example, if lockdep is processing a mutex, it would set the recursion
variable, but does it ever set the hardirqs_enabled variable to off?
