[PATCH] lockdep: add local_irq_enable_in_hardirq() API
Introduce local_irq_enable_in_hardirq() API. It is currently aliased to
local_irq_enable(), hence has no functional effects.
This API will be used by lockdep, but even without lockdep this will better
document places in the kernel where a hardirq context enables hardirqs.
