KVM: X86: Fix preempt the preemption timer cancel
Preemption can occur during cancel preemption timer, and there will be
inconsistent status in lapic, vmx and vmcs field.

This can be reproduced sporadically during boot of L2 on a
preemptible L1, causing a splat on L1.

This patch fixes it by disabling preemption while cancelling
preemption timer. This way cancel_hv_timer is atomic with
respect to kvm_arch_vcpu_load.
