Shrikanth Hegde 334f3f6d7a 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.
