xen: disable interrupts before saving in percpu
Impact: Fix race condition xen_mc_batch has a small preempt race where it takes the address of a percpu variable immediately before disabling interrupts, thereby leaving a small window in which we may migrate to another cpu and save the flags in the wrong percpu variable. Disable interrupts before saving the old flags in a percpu. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
