On return from cpuidle_enter_freeze() irqs are re-enabled by the function
caller (ie cpuidle_idle_call) in the idle loop. This patch removes a stale
local_irq_disable() call and its stale comment in cpuidle_enter_freeze(),
since they disagree and do not serve a useful purpose.

Hmm, I think Rafael added this prevent lockdep to raise a warning.

Otherwise, cpuidle_enter or arch_cpu_idle enables the irq again and then when exiting the cpu_idle_call, we enable them again, so leading to a lockdep WARN in trace_hardirqs_on_caller.

That said, if we have to do this, it may reveal something is wrong in the code.
