local_paca->irq_happened may be changed asychronously. 

In my test env (IBM Power 9117-MMA), I installed the RHEL6.2 with the shipped
oprofile. Then I run into kernel v3.4-rc4, setup/start oprofile and start the
LTP test suite.

In a short while, the system would crash. Seems that oprofile may change
the irq_happened.

Use local var instead of local_paca->irq_happened directly in this function here.

Please check this patch. Any comments are welcome.
It should not as __check_irq_replay() should always be called
with interrupts hard disabled... Do you see any code path
where that is not the case ?

Cheers,
Ben.
