If the kernel oopses in an interrupt, nothing re-enables interrupts:

do_exit() expects to be called in a well-defined environment, so let's
re-enable interrupts after unwinding the stack, in case they were disabled.
Note that if any spinlocks are held, etc. we'll also get the above warning,
so this isn't a silver bullet. So, let's add a C helper in case someone
wants to add fancier lock busting or if we've forgotten to unwind something
else.

I split this out from the XPFO series since it's mostly unrelated, and is
just a bug I found while working on that series.
v2: whitelist __finish_rewind_stack_do_exit() as a noreturn function in
objtool (Josh)
