[PATCH] target/ppc: Fix mtmsr(d) L=1 variant that loses interrupts

If mtmsr L=1 sets MSR[EE] while there is a maskable exception pending,
it does not cause an interrupt. This causes the test case to hang:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-ppc/2019-10/msg00826.html
More recently, Linux reduced the occurance of operations (e.g., rfi)
which stop translation and allow pending interrupts to be processed.
This started causing hangs in Linux boot in long-running kernel tests,
running with '-d int' shows the decrementer stops firing despite DEC
wrapping and MSR[EE]=1.
https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2020-April/208301.html
The cause is the broken mtmsr L=1 behaviour, which is contrary to the
architecture. From Power ISA v3.0B, p.977, Move To Machine State Register,
Programming Note states:
If MSR[EE]=0 and an External, Decrementer, or Performance Monitor
exception is pending, executing an mtmsrd instruction that sets
MSR[EE] to 1 will cause the interrupt to occur before the next
instruction is executed, if no higher priority exception exists
Fix this by handling L=1 exactly the same way as L=0, modulo the MSR
bits altered.
The confusion arises from L=0 being "context synchronizing" whereas L=1
is "execution synchronizing", which is a weaker semantic. However this
is not a relaxation of the requirement that these exceptions cause
interrupts when MSR[EE]=1 (e.g., when mtmsr executes to completion as
TCG is doing here), rather it specifies how a pipelined processor can
have multiple instructions in flight where one may influence how another
behaves.

Thanks very much to Nathan for reporting and testing it, I added his
Tested-by tag despite a more polished patch, as the the basics are
still the same (and still fixes his test case here).
This bug possibly goes back to early v2.04 / mtmsrd L=1 support around
2007, and the code has been changed several times since then so may
require some backporting.
32-bit / mtmsr untested at the moment, I don't have an environment
handy.
