[PATCH] powerpc/64s: Make NMI record implicitly soft-masked code as irqs disabled

scv support introduced the notion of code that implicitly soft-masks
irqs due to the instruction addresses. This is required because scv
enters the kernel with MSR[EE]=1.

If a NMI (including soft-NMI) interrupt hits when we are implicitly
soft-masked then its regs->softe does not reflect this because it is
derived from the explicit soft mask state (paca->irq_soft_mask). This
makes arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs) return false.

This can trigger a warning in the soft-NMI watchdog code (shown below).
Fix it by having NMI interrupts set regs->softe to disabled in case of
interrupting an implicit soft-masked region.
