Subject: [PATCH] sched/perf: make sure irqs are disabled for perf_event_task_sched_in()

perf_event_task_sched_in() expects interrupts to be disabled, but
on architectures with __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW defined, this
isn't true. If this is defined, disable irqs around the call in
finish_task_switch().
