[PATCH] powerpc: Disable and EOI interrupts in machine_crash_shutdown()

We've seen several bugs caused by interrupt weirdness in the kdump kernel.
Panicking from an interrupt handler means we fail to EOI the interrupt, and
so the second kernel never gets that interrupt ever again. We also see hangs
on JS20 where we take interrupts in the second kernel early during boot.

This patch fixes both those problems, and although it adds more code to the
crash path I think it is the best solution.
