kprobes/x86: Remove IRQ disabling from jprobe handlers
Jprobes actually don't need to disable IRQs while calling
handlers, because of how we specify the kernel interface in
Documentation/kprobes.txt:
-----
Probe handlers are run with preemption disabled. Depending on the
architecture and optimization state, handlers may also run with
interrupts disabled (e.g., kretprobe handlers and optimized kprobe
handlers run without interrupt disabled on x86/x86-64).
-----
So let's remove IRQ disabling from jprobes too.
