[PATCH] [ppc64] Set SMT thread priority to medium for all exceptions

[Anton Blanchard]

We need to set the thread priority to medium when entering all exceptions.
We may have been executing in low priority (eg the idle loop), but
definitely do not want to remain in that priority for the duration of
the exception (eg a device interrupt).
