When irqs are soft-disabled, MSR[EE] is volatile and can change from 1 to 0 asynchronously (if a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK interrupt hits). So it can not be used to check hard IRQ enabled status, except to confirm it is disabled.
ppc64_runlatch_o* functions use MSR this way to decide whether to re-enable MSR[EE] after disabling it, which leads to MSR[EE] being enabled when it shouldn't be (when a PACA_IRQ_MUST_HARD_MASK had disabled it between reading the MSR and clearing EE). This has been tolerated in the kernel previously, and it doesn't seem to cause a problem, but it is ugly and unexpected. Fix this by only re-enabling if PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS was set.
