intel_idle: remove redundant local_irq_disable() call
irq disabling happens earlier in process_32.c:cpu_idle. Basically, cpuidle_state->enter is called, cpu irq is disabled. cpuidle_state->enter would turn on irq when exiting. intel_idle doesn't follow this assumption. Although it doesn't cause real issue, it misleads developers. Remove the call to local_irq_disable() at entry.
