x86/reboot: Disable SVM, not just VMX, when stopping CPUs

commit a2b07fa7b93321c059af0c6d492cc9a4f1e390aa upstream.

Disable SVM and more importantly force GIF=1 when halting a CPU or
rebooting the machine.  Similar to VMX, SVM allows software to block
INITs via CLGI, and thus can be problematic for a crash/reboot.  The
window for failure is smaller with SVM as INIT is only blocked while
GIF=0, i.e. between CLGI and STGI, but the window does exist.
