KVM: x86: Ensure a full memory barrier is emitted in the VM-Exit path

Ensure a full memory barrier is emitted in the VM-Exit path, as a full
barrier is required on Intel CPUs to evict WC buffers.  This will allow
unconditionally honoring guest PAT on Intel CPUs that support self-snoop.

As srcu_read_lock() is always called in the VM-Exit path and it internally
has a smp_mb(), call smp_mb__after_srcu_read_lock() to avoid adding a
second fence and make sure smp_mb() is called without dependency on
implementation details of srcu_read_lock().
