Subject: core: Do not disable interrupts on RT in res_counter.c

The reason is the raw IRQ flag use of kernel/res_counter.c.

The irq flags tricks there seem a bit pointless: it cannot protect the
c->parent linkage because local_irq_save() is only per CPU.

So replace it with _nort(). This code needs a second look.
