[PATCH] i386/x86_64: NMI watchdog: Remove spurious local_irq_enable() in check_nmi_watchdog()

[Satyam Sharma]

There appears to be a spurious local_irq_enable() in the
check_nmi_watchdog() of both i386 and x86_64, I cannot see
when are interrupts being disabled before it. In fact we
seem to be allocating with GFP_KERNEL and calling
smp_call_function() just before this call, which suggests
this call to local_irq_enable() is spurious and can be
removed.
