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.

[ mingo@elte.hu: decoupled from clflush and ported it to x86.git ]
