[POWERPC] Fix irq enable/disable in smp_generic_take_timebase
Eran Ben-Avi <eranpublic@yahoo.com> pointed out that the arch/ppc version
of smp_generic_take_timebase disables interrupts on entry but exits without
restoring them. However, both it and the arch/powerpc version have another
problem, which is that they use local_irq_disable/enable rather than
local_irq_save/restore, and they are called with interrupts disabled.
This fixes both problems; it changes a return to a break in the arch/ppc
version, and changes both versions to use local_irq_save/restore.
