x86/tlb: Disable interrupts when changing CR4

CR4 modifications are implemented as RMW operations which update a shadow
variable and write the result to CR4. The RMW operation is protected by
preemption disable, but there is no enforcement or debugging mechanism.

CR4 modifications happen also in interrupt context via
__native_flush_tlb_global(). This implementation does not affect a
interrupted thread context CR4 operation, because the CR4 toggle restores
the original content and does not modify the shadow variable.

So the current situation seems to be safe, but a recent patch tried to add
an actual RMW operation in interrupt context, which will cause subtle
corruptions.

To prevent that and make the CR4 handling future proof:

 - Add a lockdep assertion to __cr4_set() which will catch interrupt
   enabled invocations

 - Disable interrupts in the cr4 manipulator inlines

 - Rename cr4_toggle_bits() to cr4_toggle_bits_irqsoff(). This is called
   from __switch_to_xtra() where interrupts are already disabled and
   performance matters.

All other call sites are not performance critical, so the extra overhead of
an additional local_irq_save/restore() pair is not a problem. If new call
sites care about performance then the necessary _irqsoff() variants can be
added.

[ tglx: Condensed the patch by moving the irq protection inside the
  	manipulator functions. Updated changelog ]
