Subject: [PATCH] smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in !SMP version of on_each_cpu().

From: David Daney <david.daney@...ium.com>

Thanks to commit f91eb62f71b (init: scream bloody murder if interrupts
are enabled too early), "bloody murder" is now being screamed.

With a MIPS OCTEON config, we use on_each_cpu() in our
irq_chip.irq_bus_sync_unlock() function.  This gets called in early as
a result of the time_init() call.  Because the !SMP version of
on_each_cpu() unconditionally enables irqs, we get:

Interrupts were enabled early

---[ end trace 139ce121c98e96c9 ]---

Suggested fix: Do what we already do in the SMP version of
on_each_cpu(), and use local_irq_save/local_irq_restore.
