arc: fix race condition when returning from interrupt
A race condition would happend if a FIRQ interrupted a
return-from-interrupt from a RIRQ at the wrong moment: if a decision was
already taken which thread to context switch in and the FIRQ woke up
another thread of higher priority, the ready queue would be corrupted.
The solution is to lock interrupts at the moment the interrupt return
code starts looking at the kernel queues. Interrupts do not need to be
unlocked before exiting: the return-from-interrupt (rtie) instruction
will restore the correct interrupt locking state for the thread being
context switched in.
