Subject: [PATCH 237/274] softirq: Check preemption after reenabling
 interrupts

raise_softirq_irqoff() disables interrupts and wakes the softirq
daemon, but after reenabling interrupts there is no preemption check,
so the execution of the softirq thread might be delayed arbitrarily.

In principle we could add that check to local_irq_enable/restore, but
that's overkill as the rasie_softirq_irqoff() sections are the only
ones which show this behaviour.
