x86/mm/cpa: Better use CLFLUSHOPT



Currently we issue an MFENCE before and after flushing a range. This
means that if we flush a bunch of single page ranges -- like with the
cpa array, we issue a whole bunch of superfluous MFENCEs.

Reorgainze the code a little to avoid this.

[ mingo: capitalize instructions, tweak changelog and comments. ]
