powerpc/entry: Disable interrupts before irqentry_exit
Venkat reported a panic on powerpc-next tree where GENERIC_ENTRY has
been enabled.
kernel BUG at kernel/sched/core.c:7512!
NIP preempt_schedule_irq+0x44/0x118
LR dynamic_irqentry_exit_cond_resched+0x40/0x1a4
Call Trace:
dynamic_irqentry_exit_cond_resched+0x40/0x1a4
do_page_fault+0xc0/0x104
data_access_common_virt+0x210/0x220
This happens since __do_page_fault ends up enabling the interrupts and
it could take significant time such that need_resched could be set. This
leads to schedule call in irqentry_exit leading to the bug.
There are many such irq handlers which enables the interrupts.
Fix it by disabling the irq before calling irqentry_exit. The same
pattern exists today in interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare.
