powerpc/64s/interrupt: handle MSR EE and RI in interrupt entry wrapper

The mtmsrd to enable MSR[RI] can be combined with the mtmsrd to enable
MSR[EE] in interrupt entry code, for those interrupts which enable EE.
This helps performance of important synchronous interrupts (e.g., page
faults).

This is similar to what commit dd152f70

 ("powerpc/64s: system call
avoid setting MSR[RI] until we set MSR[EE]") does for system calls.

Do this by enabling EE and RI together at the beginning of the entry
wrapper if PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS is clear, and only enabling RI if it is
set.

Asynchronous interrupts set PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS, but synchronous ones
leave it unchanged, so by default they always get EE=1 unless they have
interrupted a caller that is hard disabled. When the sync interrupt
later calls interrupt_cond_local_irq_enable(), it will not require
another mtmsrd because MSR[EE] was already enabled here.

This avoids one mtmsrd L=1 for synchronous interrupts on 64s, which
saves about 20 cycles on POWER9. And for kernel-mode interrupts, both
synchronous and asynchronous, this saves an additional 40 cycles due to
the mtmsrd being moved ahead of mfspr SPRN_AMR, which prevents a SPR
scoreboard stall.
