powerpc: Fix might-sleep warning in program check exception handler
On 32-bit, the exception prolog for the program check exception doesn't enable interrupts early on. If it is an illegal instruction exception, we read the instruction in order to emulate certain instructions, and the get_user of the instruction triggers a WARN_ON since interrupts are still disabled. This adds a local_irq_enable() to enable interrupts before reading the instruction. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
