Blackfin/ipipe: fix deferred pipeline sync for the root stage
This patch makes sure to sync the pipeline for the root stage only from the outer interrupt level, when resuming kernel code after an interrupt. This fixes a bug causing EVT15 to be spuriously popped off upon nested interrupts, which in turn would cause the preempted kernel code to resume without supervisor privileges.
