xen: enter/exit lazy_mmu_mode around m2p_override calls

Browse source 
This patch is a significant performance improvement for the
m2p_override: about 6% using the gntdev device.

Each m2p_add/remove_override call issues a MULTI_grant_table_op and a
__flush_tlb_single if kmap_op != NULL.  Batching all the calls together
is a great performance benefit because it means issuing one hypercall
total rather than two hypercall per page.
If paravirt_lazy_mode is set PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, all these calls are
going to be batched together, otherwise they are issued one at a time.

Adding arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode/arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode around the
m2p_add/remove_override calls forces paravirt_lazy_mode to
PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU, therefore makes sure that they are always batched.

However it is not safe to call arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode if we are in
interrupt context or if we are already in PARAVIRT_LAZY_MMU mode, so
check for both conditions before doing so.

Changes in v4:
- rebased on 3.4-rc4: all the m2p_override users call gnttab_unmap_refs
and gnttab_map_refs;
- check whether we are in interrupt context and the lazy_mode we are in
before calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu_mode.

Changes in v3:
- do not call arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu_mode in xen_blkbk_unmap, that
can be called in interrupt context.
