Subject: [084/104] oprofile, x86: Fix crash when unloading module (nmi timer mode)

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Robert Richter <robert.richter@....com>

commit 97f7f8189fe54e3cfe324ef9ad35064f3d2d3bff upstream.

If oprofile uses the nmi timer interrupt there is a crash while
unloading the module. The bug can be triggered with oprofile build as
module and kernel parameter nolapic set. This patch fixes this.

oprofile: using NMI timer interrupt.
