powerpc/ppc64: Use preempt_schedule_irq instead of preempt_schedule
Based on an original patch by Valentine Barshak <vbarshak@ru.mvista.com>
Use preempt_schedule_irq to prevent infinite irq-entry and
eventual stack overflow problems with fast-paced IRQ sources.
This kind of problems has been observed on the PASemi Electra IDE
controller. We have to make sure we are soft-disabled before calling
preempt_schedule_irq and hard disable interrupts after that
to avoid unrecoverable exceptions.
This patch also moves the "clrrdi r9,r1,THREAD_SHIFT" out of
the #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E scope, since r9 is clobbered
and has to be restored in both cases.
