powerpc/64s/exception: treat NIA below __end_interrupts as soft-masked
The scv instruction causes an interrupt which can enter the kernel with MSR[EE]=1, thus allowing interrupts to hit at any time. These must not be taken as normal interrupts, because they come from MSR[PR]=0 context, and yet the kernel stack is not yet set up and r13 is not set to the PACA). Treat this as a soft-masked interrupt regardless of the soft masked state. This does not affect behaviour yet, because currently all interrupts are taken with MSR[EE]=0.
