mm/memblock: disable local irqs while late memblock changes



There is a possibility of deadlock while doing late
memblock configuration as only preemption is disabled and
irq can be serviced while seqlock is held and in turn
memblock_is_memory can be called from irq context thus
trying to claim seqlock again. Following call stack was
observed,

Fix it by disabling irqs during late memblock
configuration. It is a one time operation which changes
memblock related data structures and doesn't carry
performance impact.
