sched/x86/smp: Do not enable IRQs over calibrate_delay()
We should not ever enable IRQs until we're fully set up. This opens up a window where interrupts can hit the cpu and interrupts can do wakeups, wakeups need state that isn't set-up yet, in particular this cpu isn't elegible to run tasks, so if any cpu-affine task that got created in CPU_UP_PREPARE manages to get a wakeup, its affinity mask will get broken and we'll run into lots of 'interesting' problems.
