This is because of commit f98db6013c55 ("sched/core: Add switch_mm_irqs_off() and use it in the scheduler") in which switch_mm_irqs_off() is called by the scheduler, vs switch_mm() which is used by use_mm(). This patch lets the parisc code mirror the x86 and powerpc code, ie. it disables interrupts in switch_mm(), and optimises the scheduler case by defining switch_mm_irqs_off().
