powerpc/64: allow alternate return locations for soft-masked interrupts



The exception table fixup adjusts a failed page fault's interrupt return
location if it was taken at an address specified in the exception table,
to a corresponding fixup handler address.

Introduce a variation of that idea which adds a fixup table for NMIs and
soft-masked asynchronous interrupts. This will be used to protect
certain critical sections that are sensitive to being clobbered by
interrupts coming in (due to using the same SPRs and/or irq soft-mask
state).
