locking: Optimize lock_bh functions
Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations: local_bh_disable(); preempt_disable(); and for the unlock: preempt_enable_no_resched(); local_bh_enable(); Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable twice when you can do it in one go; use the new __local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a preempt_count value to add/sub. So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to add/sub to be done in one go. As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage. This reduces a 1000 loops of: spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock); spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock); from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few runs I did for each suggest it is so.
