x86: fix die() to not be preemptible

Andrew "Eagle Eye" Morton noticed that we use raw_local_save_flags()
instead of raw_local_irq_save(flags) in die(). This allows the
preemption of oopsing contexts - which is highly undesirable. It also
causes CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT to complain, as reported by Miles Lane.

this bug was introduced via:

      x86: use raw locks during oopses

-               spin_lock_irqsave(&die.lock, flags);
+               __raw_spin_lock(&die.lock);
+               raw_local_save_flags(flags);

that is not a correct open-coding of spin_lock_irqsave(): both the
ordering is wrong (irqs should be disabled _first_), and the wrong
flags-saving API was used.
