tracing/lockdep: Disable lockdep first in entering NMI 

When function tracing with either debug locks enabled or tracing
preempt disabled, the add_preempt_count() is traced. This is an
issue with lockdep and function tracing. As function tracing
can disable interrupts, and lockdep records that change,
lockdep may not be able to handle this recursion if it happens from
an NMI context.

The first thing that an NMI does is:

 #define nmi_enter()					\
	do {							\
		ftrace_nmi_enter();				\
		BUG_ON(in_nmi());				\
		add_preempt_count(NMI_OFFSET + HARDIRQ_OFFSET);	\
		lockdep_off();					\
		rcu_nmi_enter();				\
		trace_hardirq_enter();				\
	} while (0)

When the add_preempt_count() is traced, and the tracing callback
disables interrupts, it will jump into the lockdep code. There's
some places in lockdep that can't handle this re-entrance, and
causes lockdep to fail.

As the lockdep_off() (and lockdep_on) is a simple:

void lockdep_off(void)
{
	current->lockdep_recursion++;
}

and is never traced, it can be called first in nmi_enter()
and lockdep_on() last in nmi_exit().
