[PATCH] powerpc/64/interrupt: Fix return to masked context after hard-mask irq becomes pending

When a synchronous interrupt[1] is taken in a local_irq_disable() region
which has MSR[EE]=1, the interrupt handler will enable MSR[EE] as part
of enabling MSR[RI], for peformance and profiling reasons.

[1] Typically a hash fault, but in error cases this could be a page
    fault or facility unavailable as well.

If an asynchronous interrupt hits here and its masked handler requires
MSR[EE] to be cleared (it is a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK interrupt), then
MSR[EE] must remain disabled until that pending interrupt is replayed.
The problem is that the MSR of the original context has MSR[EE]=1, so
returning directly to that causes MSR[EE] to be enabled while the
interrupt is still pending.

This issue was hacked around in the interrupt return code by just
clearing the hard mask to avoid a warning, and taking the masked
interrupt again immediately in the return context, which would disable
MSR[EE]. However in the case of a pending PMI, it is possible that it is
not maked in the calling context so the full handler will be run while
there is a PMI pending, and this confuses the perf code and causes
warnings with its PMI pending management.

Fix this by removing the hack, and adjusting the return MSR if it has
MSR[EE]=1 and there is a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK interrupt pending.
