Disable preemption when loading/putting the AVIC during an APICv refresh.
If the vCPU task is preempted and migrated ot a different pCPU, the
unprotected avic_vcpu_load() could set the wrong pCPU in the physical ID
cache/table.
Pull the necessary code out of avic_vcpu_{,un}blocking() and into a new
helper to reduce the probability of introducing this exact bug a third
time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
