    ARC: Entry Handler tweaks: Optimize away redundant IRQ_DISABLE_SAVE · fce16bc3

    In the exception return path, for both U/K cases, intr are already
    disabled (for various existing reasons). So when we drop down to
    @restore_regs, we need not redo that.
    
    There was subtle issue - when intr were NOT being disabled for
    ret-to-kernel-but-no-preemption case - now fixed by moving the
    IRQ_DISABLE further up in @resume_kernel_mode.
    
    So what do we gain:
    
    * Shaves off a few insn in return path.
    
    * Eliminates the need for IRQ_DISABLE_SAVE assembler macro for ARCv2
      hence allows for entry code sharing.
