[PATCH] arm64: abort counter_read_on_cpu() when irqs_disabled()

[Ionela Voinescu]

Given that smp_call_function_single() can deadlock when interrupts are
disabled, abort the SMP call if irqs_disabled(). This scenario is
currently not possible given the function's uses, but safeguard this for
potential future uses.
