Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] powerpc/64s: system call scv tabort fix for corrupt irq soft-mask state

If a system call is made with a transaction active, the kernel
immediately aborts it and returns. scv system calls disable irqs even
earlier in their interrupt handler, and tabort_syscall does not fix this
up.

This can result in irq soft-mask state being messed up on the next
kernel entry, and crashing at BUG_ON(arch_irq_disabled_regs(regs)) in
the kernel exit handlers, or possibly worse.

Fix this by having tabort_syscall setting irq soft-mask back to enabled
(which requires MSR[EE] be disabled first).

Tested the wrong kernel before sending v1 and missed a bug, sorry.

Why not use 'rlwinm' to mask out MSR_EE ?
