Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 10/57] powerpc/traps: restore recoverability of machine_check interrupts

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>

[ Upstream commit daf00ae71dad8aa05965713c62558aeebf2df48e ]

commit b96672dd840f ("powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non-
maskable interrupt") added a call to nmi_enter() at the beginning of
machine check restart exception handler. Due to that, in_interrupt()
always returns true regardless of the state before entering the
exception, and die() panics even when the system was not already in
interrupt.

This patch calls nmi_exit() before calling die() in order to restore
the interrupt state we had before calling nmi_enter()

Fixes: b96672dd840f ("powerpc: Machine check interrupt is a non-maskable interrupt")
