[PATCH] powerpc/64s/interrupt: Fix interrupt exit race with security mitigation switch

[Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com>]

The RFI and STF security mitigation options can flip the
interrupt_exit_not_reentrant static branch condition concurrently with
the interrupt exit code which tests that branch.

Interrupt exit tests this condition to set MSR[EE|RI] for exit, then
again in the case a soft-masked interrupt is found pending, to recover
the MSR so the interrupt can be replayed before attempting to exit
again. If the condition changes between these two tests, the MSR and irq
soft-mask state will become corrupted, leading to warnings and possible
crashes. For example, if the branch is initially true then false,
MSR[EE] will be 0 but PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS clear and EE may not get
enabled, leading to warnings in irq_64.c.

The static_branch condition should not be evaluated multiple times by
the caller when coded like this AFAIKS because if code patching is
disabled then it becomes an atomic_read of the key, and if it is enabled
then it should be done with asm volatile so the compiler should be
unable to expand it again.

Thanks,
Nick
