powerpc/64/interrupt: Prevent NMI PMI causing a dangerous warning

NMI PMIs really should not return using the normal interrupt_return
function. If such a PMI hits in code returning to user with the context
switched to user mode, this warning can fire. This was enough to cause
crashes when reproducing on 64s, because another perf interrupt would
hit while reporting bug, and that would cause another bug, and so on
until smashing the stack.

Work around that particular crash for now by just disabling that context
warning for PMIs. This is a hack and not a complete fix, there could be
other such problems lurking in corners. But it does fix the known crash.
