runtime: disable preemption in startm

startm contains a critical section from when it takes ownership of a P
(either on function entry or call to pidleput) until it wakes the M
receiving the P. If preempted in this critical section, the owned P is
left in limbo. If preempted for a GC stop, there will be nothing to stop
the owned P and STW will wait forever.

golang.org/cl/232298 introduced the first call to startm that is not on
the system stack (via a wakep call), introducing the possibility of
preemption. Disable preemption in startm to ensure this remains
non-preemptible.

Since we're not always on the system stack anymore, we also need to be
careful in allocm.
