KVM: x86: Ensure PV TLB flush tracepoint reflects KVM behavior
In record_steal_time(), st->preempted is read twice, and
trace_kvm_pv_tlb_flush() might output result inconsistent if
kvm_vcpu_flush_tlb_guest() see a different st->preempted later.
It is a very trivial problem and hardly has actual harm and can be
avoided by reseting and reading st->preempted in atomic way via xchg().
