x86/split-lock: Avoid returning with interrupts enabled

When a split lock is detected always make sure to disable interrupts
before returning from the trap handler.

The kernel exit code assumes that all exits run with interrupts
disabled, otherwise the SWAPGS sequence can race against interrupts and
cause recursing page faults and later panics.

The problem will only happen on CPUs with split lock disable
functionality, so Icelake Server, Tiger Lake, Snow Ridge, Jacobsville.

Fixes: ca4c6a98 ("x86/traps: Make interrupt enable/disable symmetric in C code")
Fixes: bce9b042
