powerpc/64: Fix msr_check_and_set/clear MSR[EE] race

irq soft-masking means that when Linux irqs are disabled, the MSR[EE]
value can change from 1 to 0 asynchronously: if a masked interrupt of
the PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK variety fires while irqs are disabled,
the masked handler will return with MSR[EE]=0.

This means a sequence like mtmsr(mfmsr() | MSR_FP) is racy if it can
be called with local irqs disabled, unless a hard_irq_disable has been
done.
