Subject: [PATCH -rt] mm: protect activate_mm() by preempt_[disable|enable]_rt()

Otherwise there will be warning on ARM like below:

The reason is that ARM need irq enabled when doing activate_mm().
According to mm-protect-activate-switch-mm.patch, actually
preempt_[disable|enable]_rt() is sufficient.
