Syzkaller reported a sleep in atomic context bug relating to the HASHCHK
handler logic

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:1518

To determine if a trap was caused by a HASHCHK instruction, we inspect
the user instruction that triggered the trap. However this may sleep
if the page needs to be faulted in (get_user_instr() reaches
__get_user(), which calls might_fault() and triggers the bug message).

Move the HASHCHK handler logic to after we allow IRQs, which is fine
because we are only interested in HASHCHK if it's a user space trap.
