powerpc: fixup hard_irq_disable semantics
This patch renames the raw hard_irq_{enable,disable} into
__hard_irq_{enable,disable} and introduces a higher level hard_irq_disable()
function that can be used by any code to enforce that IRQs are fully disabled,
not only lazy disabled.
The difference with the __ versions is that it will update some per-processor
fields so that the kernel keeps track and properly re-enables them in the next
local_irq_disable();
This prepares powerpc for my next patch that introduces hard_irq_disable()
generically.
