The core disabled interrupts before invocation the ->complete handler because the handler might have expected that interrupts are disabled. All handlers were audited and use proper locking now. With it, the core code no longer needs to disable interrupts before invoking the ->complete handler. Remove local_irq_save() statement before invoking the ->complete handler.
