KVM: x86: disable preemption around the call to kvm_arch_vcpu_{un|}blocking



On SVM, if preemption happens right after the call to finish_rcuwait
but before call to kvm_arch_vcpu_unblocking on SVM/AVIC, it itself
will re-enable AVIC, and then we will try to re-enable it again
in kvm_arch_vcpu_unblocking which will lead to a warning
in __avic_vcpu_load.

The same problem can happen if the vCPU is preempted right after the call
to kvm_arch_vcpu_blocking but before the call to prepare_to_rcuwait
and in this case, we will end up with AVIC enabled during sleep -
Ooops.
