acpi_safe_halt() needs interrupts to be disabled for atomic need_resched check and safe halt. Otherwise we may miss an interrupt and go into halt. acpi_safe_halt() also does not enable interrupts on all return paths. So the callers should handle enable and disable interrupts around it. There were multiple places where this was not happening. Below is the fix.
