Subject: [PATCH 4.16 062/272] powerpc/fscr: Enable interrupts earlier before calling get_user()

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 709b973c844c0b4d115ac3a227a2e5a68722c912 ]

The function get_user() can sleep while trying to fetch instruction
from user address space and causes the following warning from the
scheduler.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context

Though interrupts get enabled back but it happens bit later after
get_user() is called. This change moves enabling these interrupts
earlier covering the function get_user(). While at this, lets check
for kernel mode and crash as this interrupt should not have been
triggered from the kernel context.
