[PATCH -rt 1/2] Dont blindly turn on interrupts in boot_override_clocksource

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

The boot_override_clocksource currently blindly turns on interrupts with
the releasing of the lock.  But if you have clocksource=xxx in the
command line, this function is called before interrupts are setup,
and causes early exception errors.
