[PATCH 2/2] speedstep: clean up interrupt disabling

[Mikulas Patocka]

This patch cleans up interrupt disabling in speedstep-smi and
speedstep-lib. It doesn't fix any bug.

speedstep_get_freqs in speedstep-lib may be called from speedstep-smi or
speedstep-ich. When it is called from speedstep-ich, it needs to calculate
transition latency. When it is called from speedstep-smi, transition
latency doesn't have to be calculated.

The function speedstep_set_state in speedstep-smi needs to enable
interrupts. Previously it enabled interrupts even if it was called with
disabled interrupts, but it is dirty.

This patch changes speedstep_get_freqs so that it disables interrupts only
when it is called from speedstep-ich and when it is measuring the
transition latency. This avoids much of the code dirtiness.
