KVM: Fix reboot on Intel hosts

When we reboot, we disable vmx extensions or otherwise INIT gets blocked.
If a task on another cpu hits a vmx instruction, it will fault if vmx is
disabled.  We trap that to avoid a nasty oops and spin until the reboot
completes.

Problem is, we sleep with interrupts disabled.  This blocks smp_send_stop()
from running, and the reboot process halts.

Fix by enabling interrupts before spinning.
