Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: fix __get_user_pages_fast() irq handling

__get_user_pages_fast() may be called with interrupts disabled (see e.g.
get_futex_key() in kernel/futex.c) and therefore should use local_irq_save()
and local_irq_restore() instead of local_irq_disable()/enable().

Please note that this patch is completely untested; not even compile
tested. I just realized that there seems to be a bug when looking at
the powerpc code ;)
