[PATCH] riscv: Avoid enabling interrupts in die()

[Mattias Nissler <mnissler@rivosinc.com>]

While working on something else, I noticed that the kernel would start
accepting interrupts again after crashing in an interrupt handler. Since
the kernel is already in inconsistent state, enabling interrupts is
dangerous and opens up risk of kernel state deteriorating further.
Interrupts do get enabled via what looks like an unintended side effect of
spin_unlock_irq, so switch to the more cautious
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore instead.
