[RFC/WIP] powerpc: Fix 32-bit handling of MSR_EE on exceptions

Hi folks !

Why trying to figure out why we had occasionally lockdep barf about
interrupt state on ppc32 (440 in my case but I could reproduce on e500
as well using qemu), I realized that we are still doing something
rather gothic and wrong on 32-bit which we stopped doing on 64-bit
a while ago.

We have that thing where some handlers "copy" the EE value from the
original stack frame into the new MSR before transferring to the
handler.

Thus for a number of exceptions, we enter the handlers with interrupts
enabled.

This is rather fishy, some of the stuff that handlers might do early
on such as irq_enter/exit or user_exit, context tracking, etc... should
be run with interrupts off afaik.

Generally our handlers know when to re-enable interrupts if needed
(though some of the FSL specific SPE ones don't).

The problem we were having is that we assumed these interrupts would
return with interrupts enabled. However that isn't the case.

Instead, this changes things so that we always enter exception handlers
with interrupts *off* with the notable exception of syscalls which are
special (and get a fast path).

Currently, the patch only changes BookE (440 and E5xx tested in qemu),
the same recipe needs to be applied to 6xx, 8xx and 40x.

Also I'm not sure whether we need to create a stack frame around some
of the calls to trace_hardirqs_* in asm. ppc64 does it, due to problems
with the irqsoff tracer, but I haven't managed to reproduce those
issues. We need to look into it a bit more.

I'll work more on this in the next few days, comments appreciated.
