x86: calibrate delay with irqs enabled

We do it to make it close to x86_64. The later needs it,
otherwise the nmi watchdog can get into the scene and kill us
with a hammer.

Enabling irqs here used to trigger a bug in i386. This is because
time irq handling relies upon structures that are only initialized
after smp initcalls (More precisely, it will find
per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu)->cb_pending list not initialized and crash)
