nohz: Protect smp_processor_id() in tick_nohz_task_switch()

I saw following error when testing the latest nohz code on
Power:

[   85.295384] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: rsyslogd/3493

The code below moves the test into local_irq_save/restore
section to avoid the above complaint.
