KVM: Replace smp_mb() with smp_load_acquire() in the kvm_flush_remote_tlbs()

Browse source 
smp_load_acquire() is enough here and it's cheaper than smp_mb().
Adding a comment about reusing memory barrier of kvm_make_all_cpus_request()
here to keep order between modifications to the page tables and reading mode.
