kprobes, x86: Disable irqs during optimized callback

Disable irqs during optimized callback, so we dont miss any in-irq kprobes.

The following commands:

 # cd /debug/tracing/
 # echo "p mutex_unlock" >> kprobe_events
 # echo "p _raw_spin_lock" >> kprobe_events
 # echo "p smp_apic_timer_interrupt" >> ./kprobe_events
 # echo 1 > events/enable

Cause the optimized kprobes to be missed. None is missed
with the fix applied.
