[PATCH v2] do_work_pending: Enable interrupts in do_work_pending()

A recent change triggered a WARN_ON that interrupts were disabled,
and in fact other architectures enable interrupts uniformly for their
related do_work_pending() type code, and all the things we call from
this routine appear to expect interrupts to be enabled.  So, enable them.
Below is the warning.

v2 Remove the call of local_irq_disable during restart of signal.
