[PATCH] x86, entry: Check for syscall exit work with IRQs disabled

[Andy Lutomirski]

We currently have a race: if we're preempted during syscall exit, we
can fail to process syscall return work that is queued up while
we're preempted in ret_from_sys_call after checking ti.flags.

Fix it by disabling interrupts before checking ti.flags.

Fixes: 96b6352c1271 x86_64, entry: Remove the syscall exit audit and schedule optimizations

Ingo, I don't understand the LOCKDEP_SYS_EXIT stuff.  Can you take a quick
look to confirm that it's okay to call it more than once?
