powerpc: Copy back TIF flags on return from softirq stack
We already did it for hard IRQs but it looks like we forgot to do it for softirqs. Without this, we would lose flags such as TIF_NEED_RESCHED set using current_thread_info() by something running of a softirq. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
