mm: workingset: remove local_irq_disable() from count_shadow_nodes()

Patch series "mm: use irq locking suffix instead local_irq_disable()".

A small series which avoids using local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable()
but instead does spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() so it is within the
context of the lock which it belongs to.  Patch #1 is a cleanup where
local_irq_.*() remained after the lock was removed.

This patch (of 2):

In 0c7c1bed7e13 ("mm: make counting of list_lru_one::nr_items lockless")
the

	spin_lock(&nlru->lock);

statement was replaced with

	rcu_read_lock();

in __list_lru_count_one().  The comment in count_shadow_nodes() says
that the local_irq_disable() is required because the lock must be
acquired with disabled interrupts and (spin_lock()) does not do so.
Since the lock is replaced with rcu_read_lock() the local_irq_disable()
is no longer needed.  The code path is

  list_lru_shrink_count()
    -> list_lru_count_one()
      -> __list_lru_count_one()
        -> rcu_read_lock()
        -> list_lru_from_memcg_idx()
        -> rcu_read_unlock()

Remove the local_irq_disable() statement.
