KVM: fix kvm_vcpu_kick vs __vcpu_run race

There is a window open between testing of pending IRQ's
and assignment of guest_mode in __vcpu_run.

Injection of IRQ's can race with __vcpu_run as follows:

CPU0                                CPU1
kvm_x86_ops->run()
vcpu->guest_mode = 0                SET_IRQ_LINE ioctl
..
kvm_x86_ops->inject_pending_irq
kvm_cpu_has_interrupt()

                                    apic_test_and_set_irr()
                                    kvm_vcpu_kick
                                    if (vcpu->guest_mode)
                                        send_ipi()

vcpu->guest_mode = 1

So move guest_mode=1 assignment before ->inject_pending_irq, and make
sure that it won't reorder after it.
