The PS3 HV will deliver soft-disabled interrupts at the next HV call or
interrupt. Add an HV call to local_irq_restore() to force the timely
delivery of any pending interrupts.
This fixes the system slowdown bug reported here

I made a request to change the behavior of the lv1 hypervisor to better
support the way we do soft-disable on Linux, but it is still not been
decided if and when that support will be done.
