[PATCH 3/3] time: drop local_irq_save/restore from irqtime_account_irq

From: riel
Date: Mon Jul 11 2016 - 12:55:02 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

Paolo pointed out that irqs are already blocked when irqtime_account_irq
is called. That means there is no reason to call local_irq_save/restore
again.
