nohz: Fix !HIGH_RES_TIMERS hang

Simon Horman reported this crash on a system with
high-res timers disabled but nohz enabled:

  > ------------[ cut here ]------------
  > kernel BUG at kernel/irq_work.c:135!

    BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled());

So something enabled interrupts in the periodic tick handling machinery,
and that code path indeed has a local_irq_disable()/enable pair in
tick_nohz_switch_to_nohz() which causes havoc. Fix it.

This patch also fixes a +nohz -hrtimers hang reported by Ingo Molnar.
