powerpc/64s: interrupt exit improve bounding of interrupt recursion
When replaying pending soft-masked interrupts when an interrupt returns to an irqs-enabled context, there is a special case required if this was an asynchronous interrupt to avoid unbounded interrupt recursion. This case was not tested for in the case the asynchronous interrupt hit in user context, because a subsequent nested interrupt would by definition hit in kernel mode, which then exits via the kernel path which does test this case. There is no reason to allow this for such interrupts. While recursion is bounded at the next level, it's simpler and uses less stack to apply the replay logic consistently. This also expands the comment which was really pretty poor and didn't explain the problem (I can say that because I wrote it).
