[PATCH] powerpc/irq: Don't switch to irq stack from softirq stack

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

irq_exit() is now called on the irq stack, which can trigger a switch
to the softirq stack from the irq stack. If an interrupt happens at
that point, we will not properly detect the re-entrancy and clobber
the original return context on the irq stack.

This fixes it. The side effect is to prevent all nesting from softirq
stack to irq stack even in the "safe" case but it's simpler that way
and matches what x86_64 does.

Linus, I don't have my git repo at hand right now and this is pretty
urgent, can you apply it directly please ?

Cheers,
Ben.
