[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3E 64: Fix IRQs warnings and hangs

A change in the generic code highlighted that we were running with IRQs
(soft) enabled on Book3E 64-bit when trying to restart interrupts from
handle_exit(). This is a lesson to configure lockdep often :)
There is no reason to exit guest with soft_enabled == 1, a local_irq_enable()
call will do this for us so get rid of kvmppc_layz_ee() calls. With this fix
we eliminate irqs_disabled() warnings and some guest and host hangs revealed
under stress tests, but guests still exhibit some unresponsiveness.
The unresponsiveness has to do with the fact that arch_local_irq_restore()
does not guarantees to hard enable interrupts. To do so replace exception
function calls like timer_interrupt() with irq_happened flags. The
local_irq_enable() call takes care of replaying them and lets the interrupts
hard enabled.
