powerpc/mm/hash: hard disable irq in the SLB insert path

Browse source

When inserting SLB entries for EA above 512TB, we need to hard disable irq.
This will make sure we don't take a PMU interrupt that can possibly touch
user space address via a stack dump. To prevent this, we need to hard disable
the interrupt.

Also add a comment explaining why we don't need context synchronizing isync
with slbmte.
