sched/numa: Fix use of spin_{un}lock_irq() when interrupts are disabled



As Peter Zijlstra told me, we have the following path:

do_exit()
  exit_itimers()
    itimer_delete()
      spin_lock_irqsave(&timer->it_lock, &flags);
      timer_delete_hook(timer);
        kc->timer_del(timer) := posix_cpu_timer_del()
          put_task_struct()
            __put_task_struct()
              task_numa_free()
                spin_lock(&grp->lock);

Which means that task_numa_free() can be called with interrupts
disabled, which means that we should not be using spin_lock_irq() but
spin_lock_irqsave() instead. Otherwise we are enabling interrupts while
holding an interrupt unsafe lock!
