[PATCH 7/7] x86/mm: Opt-in to IRQs-off activate_mm()

[Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

We gain nothing by having the core code enable IRQs right before calling
activate_mm() only for us to turn them right back off again in switch_mm().

This will save a few cycles, so execve() should be blazingly fast with this
patch applied!
