Per-vcpu flags are updated using a non-atomic RMW operation.
Which means it is possible to get preempted between the read and
write operations.

Another interesting thing to note is that preemption also updates
flags, as we have some flag manipulation in both the load and put
operations.

It is thus possible to lose information communicated by either
load or put, as the preempted flag update will overwrite the flags
when the thread is resumed. This is specially critical if either
load or put has stored information which depends on the physical
CPU the vcpu runs on.

This results in really elusive bugs, and kudos must be given to
Mostafa for the long hours of debugging, and finally spotting
the problem.

Fix it by disabling preemption during the RMW operation, which
ensures that the state stays consistent. Also upgrade vcpu_get_flag
path to use READ_ONCE() to make sure the field is always atomically
accessed.
