  From: Hou Wenlong <houwenlong.hwl@antgroup.com>

The pushf/popf instructions in this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu() are
non-privilege instructions, so they cannot be trapped and emulated,
which could cause a boot failure. However, since the cmpxchg16b
instruction is supported for PVM guest. we can patch
this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu() and use cmpxchg16b directly.
