The recursion does abort when there is no more IPI queued for a CPU, so
this isn't usually fatal which is why we got away with this for so long
until this was discovered by code inspection.

SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target
TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these
queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.

In handle_sys and its variants, we must reload some registers which
might be clobbered by trace_hardirqs_on().
Also we must make sure trace_hardirqs_on() called in kernel level (not
exception level).
