x86: add smp_mb() before sending INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR
Impact: fix rare x2apic hang
On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing
semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some
memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the
IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode.
Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI.
