[PATCH] kvm/ppc/booke64: Hard disable interrupts when entering the guest

kvmppc_lazy_ee_enable() was causing interrupts to be soft-enabled
(albeit hard-disabled) in kvmppc_restart_interrupt().  This led to
warnings, and possibly breakage if the interrupt state was later saved
and then restored (leading to interrupts being hard-and-soft enabled
when they should be at least soft-disabled).

Simply removing kvmppc_lazy_ee_enable() leaves interrupts only
soft-disabled when we enter the guest, but they will be hard-disabled
when we exit the guest -- without PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS ever being set, so
the local_irq_enable() fails to hard-enable.

While we could just set PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS after an exit to compensate,
instead hard-disable interrupts before entering the guest.  This way,
we won't have to worry about interactions if we take an interrupt
during the guest entry code.  While I don't see any obvious
interactions, it could change in the future (e.g. it would be bad if
the non-hv code were used on 64-bit or if 32-bit guest lazy interrupt
disabling, since the non-hv code changes IVPR among other things).
