powerpc/traps: do not enable irqs in _exception
_exception can be called by machine check handlers when the MCE hits user code (e.g., pseries and powernv). This will enable local irqs because, which is a dicey thing to do in NMI or hard irq context. This seemed to worked out okay because a userspace MCE can basically be treated like a synchronous interrupt (after async / imprecise MCEs are filtered out). Since NMI and hard irq handlers have started growing nmi_enter / irq_enter, and more irq state sanity checks, this has started to cause problems (or at least trigger warnings). The Fixes tag to the commit which introduced this rather than try to work out exactly which commit was the first that could possibly cause a problem because that may be difficult to prove.
