possible reason: unannotated irqs-on.
irq event stamp: 3
hardirqs last  enabled at (2): [<c0059bb0>] finish_task_switch+0x48/0xb0
hardirqs last disabled at (3): [<c002f0b0>] ret_slow_syscall+0xc/0x1c
softirqs last  enabled at (0): [<c005f3e0>] copy_process+0x394/0xe5c
softirqs last disabled at (0): [<(null)>] (null)

Fix this by ensuring that the lockdep interrupt state is manipulated in
the appropriate places.  We essentially treat userspace as an entirely
separate environment which isn't relevant to lockdep (lockdep doesn't
monitor userspace.)  We don't tell lockdep that IRQs will be enabled
in that environment.

Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared
to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state.  Do
this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper,
tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them.

This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state
in kernel space.

This also revert portions of 0d928b0
which didn't fix the problem.
