powerpc/64s: Remove MSR_RI optimisation in system_call_exit()

Currently in system_call_exit() we have an optimisation where we
disable MSR_RI (recoverable interrupt) and MSR_EE (external interrupt
enable) in a single mtmsrd instruction.

Unfortunately this will no longer work with THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK,
because then the load of TI_FLAGS might fault and faulting with MSR_RI
clear is treated as an unrecoverable exception which leads to a
panic().

So change the code to only clear MSR_EE prior to loading TI_FLAGS,
leaving the clear of MSR_RI until later. We have some latitude in
where do the clear of MSR_RI. A bit of experimentation has shown that
this location gives the least slow down.

This still causes a noticeable slow down in our null_syscall
performance. On a Power9 DD2.2:

  Before        After         Delta     Delta %
  955 cycles    999 cycles    -44	-4.6%

On the plus side this does simplify the code somewhat, because we
don't have to reenable MSR_RI on the restore_math() or
syscall_exit_work() paths which was necessitated previously by the
optimisation.
