> commit b96672dd840f ("powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non-
> maskable interrupt") added a call to nmi_enter() at the beginning of
> machine check restart exception handler. Due to that, in_interrupt()
> always returns true regardless of the state before entering the
> exception, and die() panics even when the system was not already in
> interrupt.
> 
> This patch calls nmi_exit() before calling die() in order to restore
> the interrupt state we had before calling nmi_enter()
