[PATCH v2 2/3] powerpc/irq: Perform stack_overflow detection after switching to IRQ stack

When KASAN is enabled, as shown by the Oops below, the 2k limit is not
enough to allow stack dump after a stack overflow detection when
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW is selected:

...

As the detection is asynchronously performed at IRQs, we could be long
after the limit has been crossed, so increasing the limit would not
solve the problem completely.

In order to be sure that there is enough stack space for the stack
dump, do it after the switch to the IRQ stack. That way it is sure
that the stack is large enough, unless the IRQ stack has been
overfilled in which case the end of life is close.
