x86/traps: Get rid of unnecessary preempt_disable/preempt_enable_no_resched

Browse source 
Exception handlers which may run on IST stack call ist_enter() at the start
of execution and ist_exit() in the end. ist_enter() disables preemption
unconditionally and ist_exit() enables it.

So the extra preempt_disable/enable() pairs nested inside the
ist_enter/exit() regions are pointless and can be removed.
