Now that the trap handlers return with interrupts disabled, the
unconditional disabling of interrupts in the low level entry code can be
removed along with the trace calls and the misnomed preempt_stop macro.
As a consequence ret_from_exception and ret_from_intr collapse.

Add a debug check to verify that interrupts are disabled depending on
CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY.
