Summary

When PTI is enabled, we may have been on the trampoline stack when iret
faults. So, we have to switch back to the regular stack before
re-entering trap().

trap() has the somewhat strange behaviour of re-enabling interrupts when
handling certain kernel-mode execeptions. In particular, it was doing
this for exceptions raised during execution of iret. When switching
away from the trampoline stack, however, the thread must not be migrated
to a different CPU. Fix the problem by simply leaving interrupts
disabled during the window.
