[PATCH v3 02/13] x86/xen: simplify flush_lazy_mmu()



arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() is called when outstanding batched
pgtable operations must be completed immediately. There should
however be no need to leave and re-enter lazy MMU completely. The
only part of that sequence that we really need is xen_mc_flush();
call it directly.

While at it, we can also avoid preempt_disable() if we are not
in lazy MMU mode - xen_get_lazy_mode() should tolerate preemption.
