ACPI: fix 2.6.20 SMP boot regression

Always disable/enable interrupts in the acpi idle routine,
even in the error path.

This is required as the 2.6.20 change in git commit d331e739f5ad2aaa9...
"Fix interrupt race in idle callback" expects the idle handler
to enable interrupt before returning.

There was a case in acpi idle routine, in which interrupt was not being
enabled before return, which caused the system to hang at bootup, while
enabling C-states on an SMP system.

The signature of the hang was that "processor.nocst"
was required to enable boot.
