trace,x86: Do not call local_irq_save() in load_current_idt()

As load_current_idt() is now what is used to update the IDT for the
switches needed for NMI, lockdep debug, and for tracing, it must not
call local_irq_save(). This is because one of the users of this is
lockdep, which does tracing of local_irq_save() and when the debug
trap is hit, we need to update the IDT before tracing interrupts
being disabled. As load_current_idt() is used to do this, calling
local_irq_save() which lockdep traces, defeats the point of calling
load_current_idt().

As interrupts are already disabled when used by lockdep and NMI, the
only other user is tracing that can disable interrupts itself. Simply
have the tracing update disable interrupts before calling load_current_idt()
instead of breaking the other users.

Here's the dump that happened:
