ppc64: hard lockup / hang in Linux kernel v5.17-rc1
Description of problem:
The kernel deterministically triggers a hard lockup / hang under QEMU since v5.17-rc1 (upgrading from v5.16).
Bisecting points to the kernel's [0faf20a1ad16](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0faf20a1ad1647c0fc0f5a367c71e5e84deaf899) ("powerpc/64s/interrupt: Don't enable MSR[EE] in irq handlers unless perf is in use"). Reverting it on top of v5.17-rc1 fixes the issue.
Reported to [linuxppc-dev](https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/CANiq72n_FmDx=r-o9J8gYc6LpwRL5EGmhM6Xzwv27Xc7h1TNDw@mail.gmail.com/). Confirmed. Suspected QEMU modeling issue by Cédric Le Goater.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Build kernel v5.17-rc1 or commit 0faf20a1ad16 for ppc64le with the attached config (either GCC or Clang).
2. Run it under QEMU with at least `-smp 2`.
