x86/vIRQ: IRR and TMR race condition bug fix

In vlapic_set_irq, we set the IRR register before the TMR. And the IRR
might be serviced before setting TMR, and even worse EOI might occur
before TMR setting, in which case the vioapic_update_EOI won't be
called, and further prevent all the subsequent interrupt injecting.
Reorder setting the TMR and IRR will solve the problem.

Besides, KVM has fixed a similar bug in:
