KVM: SVM: Disable preemption across AVIC load/put during APICv refresh

Disable preemption when loading/putting the AVIC during an APICv refresh.
If the vCPU task is preempted and migrated ot a different pCPU, the
unprotected avic_vcpu_load() could set the wrong pCPU in the physical ID
cache/table.

Pull the necessary code out of avic_vcpu_{,un}blocking() and into a new
helper to reduce the probability of introducing this exact bug a third
time.

Fixes: df7e4827
