[PATCH] powerpc/irq: Modernise inline assembly in irq_soft_mask_{set,return}

local_paca is declared as global register asm("r13"), it is therefore
garantied to always ever be r13.

It is therefore not required to opencode r13 in the assembly, use
a reference to local_paca->irq_soft_mask instead.

This also allows removing the 'memory' clobber in irq_soft_mask_set()
as GCC now knows what is being modified in memory.

Using %X modifier will give GCC a bit more flexibility on the code
generation.
