Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: replace left over sti/cli in ia32 audit exit
 code

For some reason they didn't get replaced so far by their paravirt
equivalents, resulting in code to be run with interrupts disabled that
doesn't expect so (causing, in the observed case, a BUG_ON() to
trigger) when syscall auditing is enabled.

David (Cc-ed) came up with an identical fix, so likely this can be
taken to count as an ack from him.
