sh: Make the atomic functions safe for irqsoff tracing
The irqsoff tracer uses the atomic_* functions internally, but the implementations of those functions in arch/sh/include/asm/atomic-irq.h disable irqs to achieve atomicity. A continuous loop ensues where we disable interrupts, trace the interrupt disabling, call atomic_* functions, disable interrupts, trace the interrupt disabling, etc.. The simplest solution to all this is to just convert uses of local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() the raw_* equivalents because the raw_* equivalents don't call trace_hardirqs_on()/trace_hardirqs_off().
