s390/runtime instrumention: fix possible memory corruption
For PREEMPT enabled kernels the runtime instrumentation (RI) code
contains a possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of RI
exits, it will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.
That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via
exit_thread(). If exit_thread_runtime_instr() gets preempted after the
RI control block of the task has been freed but before the pointer to
it is set to NULL, then save_ri_cb(), called from switch_to(), will
write to already freed memory.
Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.
