x86/mm/pat: Disable preemption around __flush_tlb_all()
commit f77084d96355f5fba8e2c1fb3a51a393b1570de7 upstream. The WARN_ON_ONCE(__read_cr3() != build_cr3()) in switch_mm_irqs_off() triggers every once in a while during a snapshotted system upgrade. The warning triggers since commit decab0888e6e ("x86/mm: Remove preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb()"). The callchain is: get_page_from_freelist() -> post_alloc_hook() -> __kernel_map_pages() with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled. Disable preemption during CR3 reset / __flush_tlb_all() and add a comment why preemption has to be disabled so it won't be removed accidentaly. Add another preemptible() check in __flush_tlb_all() to catch callers with enabled preemption when PGE is enabled, because PGE enabled does not trigger the warning in __native_flush_tlb(). Suggested by Andy Lutomirski.
