[POWERPC] Fix irq enable/disable in smp_generic_take_timebase
Eran Ben-Avi <eranpublic@yahoo.com> pointed out that the arch/ppc version of smp_generic_take_timebase disables interrupts on entry but exits without restoring them. However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled. This fixes both problems; it changes a return to a break in the arch/ppc version, and changes both versions to use local_irq_save/restore. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
