Impact: Fix race condition
xen_mc_batch has a small preempt race where it takes the address of a
percpu variable immediately before disabling interrupts, thereby
leaving a small window in which we may migrate to another cpu and save
the flags in the wrong percpu variable. Disable interrupts before
saving the old flags in a percpu.
