x86: correct EFLAGS.IF in SYSENTER frame

Commit 9d1d31ad94 ("x86: slightly reduce Meltdown band-aid overhead")
moved the STI past the PUSHF. While this isn't an active problem (as we
force EFLAGS.IF to 1 before exiting to guest context), let's not risk
internal confusion by finding a PV guest frame with interrupts
apparently off.
