powerpc: Fix __get_user_pages_fast() irq handling
commit 95f715b08fa4a953771398d20cbe35a6803ea41d upstream. __get_user_pages_fast() may be called with interrupts disabled (see e.g. get_futex_key() in kernel/futex.c) and therefore should use local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() instead of local_irq_disable()/enable().
