powerpc: Call do_page_fault() with interrupts off
We currently turn interrupts back to their previous state before
calling do_page_fault(). This can be annoying when debugging as
a bad fault will potentially have lost some processor state before
getting into the debugger.
We also end up calling some generic code with interrupts enabled
such as notify_page_fault() with interrupts enabled, which could
be unexpected.
This changes our code to behave more like other architectures,
and make the assembly entry code call into do_page_faults() with
interrupts disabled. They are conditionally re-enabled from
within do_page_fault() in the same spot x86 does it.
While there, add the might_sleep() test in the case of a successful
trylock of the mmap semaphore, again like x86.
Also fix a bug in the existing assembly where r12 (_MSR) could get
clobbered by C calls (the DTL accounting in the exception common
macro and DISABLE_INTS) in some cases.
