x86: c_p_a() fix: reorder TLB / cache flushes to follow Intel recommendation
Intel recommends to first flush the TLBs and then the caches on caching attribute changes. c_p_a() previously did it the other way round. Reorder that. The procedure is still not fully compliant to the Intel documentation because Intel recommends a all CPU synchronization step between the TLB flushes and the cache flushes. However on all new Intel CPUs this is now meaningless anyways because they support Self-Snoop and can skip the cache flush step anyway.
