mm, x86/mm: Fix performance regression in get_user_pages_fast()

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 5b65c4677a ]

The 0-day test bot found a performance regression that was tracked down to
switching x86 to the generic get_user_pages_fast() implementation:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170710024020.GA26389@yexl-desktop

The regression was caused by the fact that we now use local_irq_save() +
local_irq_restore() in get_user_pages_fast() to disable interrupts.
In x86 implementation local_irq_disable() + local_irq_enable() was used.

The fix is to make get_user_pages_fast() use local_irq_disable(),
leaving local_irq_save() for __get_user_pages_fast() that can be called
with interrupts disabled.

Numbers for pinning a gigabyte of memory, one page a time, 20 repeats:

  Before:  Average: 14.91 ms, stddev: 0.45 ms
  After:   Average: 10.76 ms, stddev: 0.18 ms
