x86: force EFLAGS.IF on when exiting to PV guests
Guest kernels modifying instructions in the process of being emulated
for another of their vCPU-s may effect EFLAGS.IF to be cleared upon
next exiting to guest context, by converting the being emulated
instruction to CLI (at the right point in time). Prevent any such bad
effects by always forcing EFLAGS.IF on. And to cover hypothetical other
similar issues, also force EFLAGS.{IOPL,NT,VM} to zero.
This is CVE-2016-10024 / XSA-202.
