[PATCH 2/2] rt/threadirqs: remove pointless irq disabling on irq thread handlers

[Frederic Weisbecker]

The handlers called by the irq thread lock the desc->lock by
using spin_lock_irq.
But at this stage, the irqs are already disabled at the end
of both handle_IRQ_event() processing and cond_resched_hardirq_context().

A single spin_lock is sufficient.
