[PATCH 7/7] kgdb: Remove irq flags and local_irq_enable/disable from roundup

The function kgdb_roundup_cpus() was passed a parameter that was
documented as:

> the flags that will be used when restoring the interrupts. There is
> local_irq_save() call before kgdb_roundup_cpus().

Nobody used those flags.  Anyone who wanted to temporarily turn on
interrupts just did local_irq_enable() and local_irq_disable() without
looking at them.  So we can definitely remove the flags.

Speaking of calling local_irq_enable(), it seems like a bad idea and
it caused a nice splat on my system with lockdep turned on.
Specifically it hit:
  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirq_context)

See the previous patch in this series ("smp: Don't yell about IRQs
disabled in kgdb_roundup_cpus()") for more details, but the last few
things on the stack were this on my arm64 board:
  lockdep_hardirqs_on+0xf0/0x160
  trace_hardirqs_on+0x188/0x1ac
  kgdb_roundup_cpus+0x14/0x3c

As agrued in the the commit text of ("smp: Don't yell about IRQs
disabled in kgdb_roundup_cpus()"), it seems better to make
smp_call_function() lenient about kgdb than to locally turn on IRQs
here.  Thus let's totally remove all the local_irq_enable() and
local_irq_disable() calls from all of the kgdb_roundup_cpus() calls.
