For KVM remote TLB flushes we need to check the KVM_REQ_TLB_FLUSH
request flag when the irqs are already disabled. Otherwise there is a
small window of time for a race condition where we may enter a guest
without doing a requested TLB flush.

If we lost the race and someone sets a bit after the test, then the test immediately above will pick this up retry the bit tests.
