powerpc/64/interrupt: make normal synchronous interrupts enable MSR[EE] if possible
Make synchronous interrupt handler entry wrappers enable MSR[EE] if
MSR[EE] was enabled in the interrupted context. IRQs are soft-disabled
at this point so there is no change to high level code, but it's a
masked interrupt could fire.
This is a performance disadvantage for interrupts which do not later
call interrupt_cond_local_irq_enable(), because an an additional mtmsrd
or wrtee instruction is executed. However the important synchronous
interrupts (e.g., page fault) do enable interrupts, so the performance
disadvantage is mostly avoided.
In the next patch, MSR[RI] enabling can be combined with MSR[EE]
enabling, which mitigates the performance drop for the former and gives
a performance advanage for the latter interrupts, on 64s machines. 64e
is coming along for the ride for now to avoid divergences with 64s in
this tricky code.
