Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:

Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values.  This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime.  The subsequent calculation of

	dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);

will be negative and the division performed by

	cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)

will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.

In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.
