…king KUEP

Commit b5efec0 ("powerpc/32s: Move KUEP locking/unlocking in C")
removed the 'isync' instruction after adding/removing NX bit in user
segments. The reasoning behind this change was that when setting the
NX bit we don't mind it taking effect with delay as the kernel never
executes text from userspace, and when clearing the NX bit this is
to return to userspace and then the 'rfi' should synchronise the
context.

However, it looks like on book3s/32 having a hash page table, at least
on the G3 processor, we get an unexpected fault from userspace, then
this is followed by something wrong in the verification of MSR_PR
at end of another interrupt.

This is fixed by adding back the removed isync() following update
of NX bit in user segment registers. Only do it for cores with an
hash table, as 603 cores don't exhibit that problem and the two isync
increase ./null_syscall selftest by 6 cycles on an MPC 832x.

First problem: unexpected WARN_ON() for mysterious PROTFAULT
