powerpc/irq: Don't switch to irq stack from softirq stack
irq_exit() is now called on the irq stack, which can trigger a switch to the softirq stack from the irq stack. If an interrupt happens at that point, we will not properly detect the re-entrancy and clobber the original return context on the irq stack. This fixes it. The side effect is to prevent all nesting from softirq stack to irq stack even in the "safe" case but it's simpler that way and matches what x86_64 does.
