Subject: [RFC PATCH v7 02/16] x86: always set IF before oopsing from page fault

From: Tycho Andersen <tycho@...ker.com>

Oopsing might kill the task, via rewind_stack_do_exit() at the bottom, and
that might sleep:

To be safe, let's just always enable irqs.

The particular case I'm hitting is:

Aug 23 19:30:27 xpfo kernel: [   38.278627]  async_page_fault+0x28/0x30

When a fault is in kernel space which has been triggered by XPFO.
