powerpc/irq: Allow softirq to hardirq stack transition

Allow a transition from the softirq stack to the hardirq stack when
handling a hardirq. Doing so means a hardirq received while deep in
softirq processing is less likely to cause a stack overflow of the
softirq stack.

Previously it wasn't safe to do so because irq_exit() (which initiates
softirq processing) was called on the hardirq stack.

That was changed in commit 1b1b6a6f4cc0 ("powerpc: handle irq_enter/
irq_exit in interrupt handler wrappers") and 1346d00e1bdf ("powerpc:
Don't select HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK").

The allowed transitions are now:
 - process stack -> hardirq stack
 - process stack -> softirq stack
 - process stack -> softirq stack -> hardirq stack
