Subject: powerpc/kernel: Block interrupts when updating TIDR

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 384dfd627f1ee67d028e6f14c6e9bf5a1e2a7a24 upstream.

clear_thread_tidr() is called in interrupt context as a part of delayed
put of the task structure (i.e as a part of timer interrupt). To prevent
a deadlock, block interrupts when holding vas_thread_id_lock to set/
clear TIDR for a task.
