Currently the regular CPU shutdown path for ARM disables IRQs/FIQs
in the secondary CPUs - smp_send_stop() calls ipi_cpu_stop(), which
is responsible for that. IRQs are architecturally masked when we
take an interrupt, but FIQs are high priority than IRQs, hence they
aren't masked. With that said, it makes sense to disable FIQs here,
but there's no need for (re-)disabling IRQs.
More than that: there is an alternative path for disabling CPUs,
in the form of function crash_smp_send_stop(), which is used for
kexec/panic path. This function relies on a SMP call that also
triggers a busy-wait loop [at machine_crash_nonpanic_core()], but
without disabling FIQs. This might lead to odd scenarios, like
early interrupts in the boot of kexec'd kernel or even interrupts
in secondary "disabled" CPUs while the main one still works in the
panic path and assumes all secondary CPUs are (really!) off.
So, let's disable FIQs in both paths and *not* disable IRQs a second
time, since they are already masked in both paths by the architecture.
This way, we keep both CPU quiesce paths consistent and safe.
