Subject: x86/entry/64/paravirt: Use paravirt-safe macro to access eflags

From: Boris Ostrovsky <[email protected]>

commit e17f8234538d1ff708673f287a42457c4dee720d upstream.

Commit 1d3e53e8624a ("x86/entry/64: Refactor IRQ stacks and make them NMI-safe") added DEBUG_ENTRY_ASSERT_IRQS_OFF macro that acceses eflags using 'pushfq' instruction when testing for IF bit. On PV Xen guests looking at IF flag directly will always see it set, resulting in 'ud2'.

Introduce SAVE_FLAGS() macro that will use appropriate save_fl pv op when running paravirt.
