Lockdep thinks our seqcount_t usage is unsafe because the update path can
be both from irq and worker context:

But it is a false positive because all the queue-stats pairs have their
own lock and jobs are also one at a time.

Nevertheless we can appease lockdep by disabling local interrupts to make
it see lock usage is consistent.
