[PATCH V2] powerpc/fscr: Enable interrupts earlier before calling get_user()

The function get_user() can sleep while trying to fetch instruction
from user address space and causes the following warning from the
scheduler.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context

Though interrupts get enabled back but it happens bit later after
get_user() is called. This change moves enabling these interrupts
earlier covering the function get_user(). While at this, lets check
for kernel mode and crash as this interrupt should not have been
triggered from the kernel context.

Changes in V2:
- Moved facility string detection earlier in the function
- Used pr_emerg() and die() instead of BUG_ON() if kernel context
- Removed redundant user_mode() check at the end
