Aneesh Kumar K.V a5db5060e0 powerpc/mm/hash: hard disable irq in the SLB insert path
When inserting SLB entries for EA above 512TB, we need to hard disable irq.
This will make sure we don't take a PMU interrupt that can possibly touch
user space address via a stack dump. To prevent this, we need to hard disable
the interrupt.

Also add a comment explaining why we don't need context synchronizing isync
with slbmte.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
