When we queue an interrupt to the local apic, we set the IRR before the TMR.
The vcpu can pick up the IRR and inject the interrupt before setting the TMR,
and perhaps even EOI it, causing incorrect behaviour.
The race is really insignificant since it can only occur on the first
interrupt (usually following interrupts will not change TMR), but it's better
closed than open.
Fixed by reordering setting the TMR vs IRR.
