x86: slightly reduce Meltdown band-aid overhead

I'm not sure why I didn't do this right away: By avoiding the use of
global PTEs in the cloned directmap, there's no need to fiddle with
CR4.PGE on any of the entry paths. Only the exit paths need to flush
global mappings.

The reduced flushing, however, requires that we now have interrupts off
on all entry paths until after the page table switch, so that flush IPIs
can't be serviced while on the restricted pagetables, leaving a window
where a potentially stale guest global mapping can be brought into the
TLB. Along those lines the "sync" IPI after L4 entry updates now needs
to become a real (and global) flush IPI, so that inside Xen we'll also
pick up such changes.

x86: correct EFLAGS.IF in SYSENTER frame

Commit 9d1d31ad94 ("x86: slightly reduce Meltdown band-aid overhead")
moved the STI past the PUSHF. While this isn't an active problem (as we
force EFLAGS.IF to 1 before exiting to guest context), let's not risk
internal confusion by finding a PV guest frame with interrupts
apparently off.
