In order to use preempt_count() to track the interrupt disable nesting
level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as their names
suggest, these primitives return the new value of the preempt_count()
after changing it. The following example shows the usage of it in
local_interrupt_disable():

	// increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit
	new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET);

	// if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt
	// at hardware level.
	if ((new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK) == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) {
		local_irq_save(flags);
		raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state, flags);
	}

Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after
changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.
