x86/ioapic: Cleanup the timer_works() irqflags mess
Mark tripped over the creative irqflags handling in the IO-APIC timer delivery check which ends up doing: local_irq_save(flags); local_irq_enable(); local_irq_restore(flags); which triggered a new consistency check he's working on required for replacing the POPF based restore with a conditional STI. That code is a historical mess and none of this is needed. Make it straightforward use local_irq_disable()/enable() as that's all what is required. It is invoked from interrupt enabled code nowadays.
