[IA64] perfmon: enable interrupts around semaphore call

fix a problem in pfm_handle_work() where a task may
go to sleep in down_interruptible() with interrupts
disabled. This may happen only for a monitored thread
for which the PFM_FL_NOTIFY_BLOCK flag is set. The fix
re-enables interrupts around the semaphore call. It is safe
to do so because pfm_handle_work() is called from
do_notify_user() which is called only when the task is about
to leave the kernel, i.e., no risk of stack overflow because
of interrupt nesting.

fix a debug printk warning in pfm_write_pmcs()
