[PATCH] smp.c: Quit unconditionally enabling irqs in on_each_cpu_mask().

From: David Daney <david.daney@xxxxxxxxxx>

As in f21afc25f9ed (smp.h: Use local_irq_{save,restore}() in !SMP
version of on_each_cpu().), we don't want to enable irqs if they are
not already enabled.

I don't know of any bugs currently caused by this unconditional
local_irq_enable(), but I want to use this function in MIPS/OCTEON
early boot (when we have early_boot_irqs_disabled). This also makes
this function have similar semantics to on_each_cpu() which is good in
itself.
