    powerpc/32: Restore clearing of MSR[RI] at interrupt/syscall exit

    Commit 13799748b957 ("powerpc/64: use interrupt restart table to speed
    up return from interrupt") removed the inconditional clearing of
    MSR[RI] when returning from interrupt into kernel. But powerpc/32
    doesn't implement interrupt restart table hence still need MSR[RI]
    to be cleared.

    It could be added back in interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() but it is
    easier and better to add it back in entry_32.S for following reasons:
    - Writing to MSR must be followed by a synchronising instruction
    - The smaller the non recoverable section is the better it is

    So add a macro called clr_ri and use it in the three places that play
    up with SRR0/SRR1. Use it just before another mtspr for synchronisation
    to avoid having to add an isync.

    Now that's done in entry_32.S, exit_must_hard_disable() can return
    false for non book3s/64, taking into account that BOOKE doesn't have
    MSR_RI.

    Also add back blacklisting syscall_exit_finish for kprobe. This was
    initially added by commit 7cdf44013885 ("powerpc/entry32: Blacklist
    syscall exit points for kprobe.") then lost with
    commit 6f76a01173cc ("powerpc/syscall: implement system call
    entry/exit logic in C for PPC32").

    Fixes: 6f76a01173cc ("powerpc/syscall: implement system call entry/exit logic in C for PPC32")

After reverting the first bad commit, the kernel boots without any problems.
