x86/iopl/64: Properly context-switch IOPL on Xen PV
On Xen PV, regs->flags doesn't reliably reflect IOPL and the
exit-to-userspace code doesn't change IOPL. We need to context
switch it manually.
I'm doing this without going through paravirt because this is
specific to Xen PV. After the dust settles, we can merge this with
the 32-bit code, tidy up the iopl syscall implementation, and remove
the set_iopl pvop entirely.
Fixes XSA-171.
