In ppc, compiler based sanitizer will generate instrument instructions
around statement WRITE_ONCE(local_paca->irq_soft_mask, mask):

   0xc000000000295cb0 <+0>:	addis   r2,r12,774
   0xc000000000295cb4 <+4>:	addi    r2,r2,16464
   0xc000000000295cb8 <+8>:	mflr    r0
   0xc000000000295cbc <+12>:	bl      0xc00000000008bb4c <mcount>
   0xc000000000295cc0 <+16>:	mflr    r0
   0xc000000000295cc4 <+20>:	std     r31,-8(r1)
   0xc000000000295cc8 <+24>:	addi    r3,r13,2354
   0xc000000000295ccc <+28>:	mr      r31,r13
   0xc000000000295cd0 <+32>:	std     r0,16(r1)
   0xc000000000295cd4 <+36>:	stdu    r1,-48(r1)
   0xc000000000295cd8 <+40>:	bl      0xc000000000609b98 <__asan_store1+8>
   0xc000000000295cdc <+44>:	nop
   0xc000000000295ce0 <+48>:	li      r9,1
   0xc000000000295ce4 <+52>:	stb     r9,2354(r31)
   0xc000000000295ce8 <+56>:	addi    r1,r1,48
   0xc000000000295cec <+60>:	ld      r0,16(r1)
   0xc000000000295cf0 <+64>:	ld      r31,-8(r1)
   0xc000000000295cf4 <+68>:	mtlr    r0

If there is a context switch before "stb     r9,2354(r31)", r31 may
not equal to r13, in such case, irq soft mask will not work.

This patch disable sanitizer in irq_soft_mask_set.

Dear PPC developers

I found this bug when trying to do rcutorture tests in ppc VM of
Open Source Lab of Oregon State University following Paul E. McKenny's guidance.

console.log report following bug:

After 12 days debugging, I finally narrow the problem to irq_soft_mask_set.

I am a beginner, hope I can be of some beneficial to the community ;-)

Thanks
