x86: don't store possibly stale TLB flush time stamp

While the timing window is extremely narrow, it is theoretically
possible for an update to the TLB flush clock and a subsequent flush
IPI to happen between the read and write parts of the update of the
per-page stamp. Exclude this possibility by disabling interrupts
across the update, preventing the IPI to be serviced in the middle.

This is XSA-241.
