x86: prevent PGE flush from interruption/preemption

CR4 manipulation is not protected against interrupts and preemption,
but KVM uses smp_function_call to manipulate the X86_CR4_VMXE bit
either from the CPU hotplug code or from the kvm_init call.

We need to protect the CR4 manipulation from both interrupts and
preemption.

Original bug report: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/7/48
Bugzilla entry: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10642

This is not a regression from 2.6.25, it's a long standing and hard to
trigger bug.
