lockdep: Fix redundant_hardirqs_on incremented with irqs enabled

When a path restore the flags while irqs are already enabled, we
update the per cpu var redundant_hardirqs_on in a racy fashion
and debug_atomic_inc() warns about this situation.

In this particular case, loosing a few hits in a stat is not a big
deal, so increment it without protection.

v2: Don't bother with disabling irq, we can miss one count in
    rare situations
