powerpc: check_and_cede_processor() never cedes
Commit f948501b36c6 ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working. ->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely. The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did nothing. This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable too.
