[PATCH] powerpc: Fix WARN_ON in decrementer_check_overflow

We use __get_cpu_var() which triggers a false positive warning
in smp_processor_id() thinking interrupts are enabled (at this
point, they are soft-enabled but hard-disabled).

I was initially planning to fix that with a more in-depth rework
of how we do lazy irq disabling on powerpc, but that patch is
becoming too complex for this release so I'll apply this as a
stop-gap and leave the full rework for -next
