c/s "x86/pv: Introduce and use x86emul_write_dr()" fixed a bug with IO shadow
handling, in that it remained stale and visible until %dr7.L/G got set again.
However, it neglected the -EPERM return inbetween these two hunks, introducing
a different bug in which a write to %dr7 which tries to set IO breakpoints
without %cr4.DE being set clobbers the IO state, rather than leaves it alone.
Instead, move the zeroing slightly later, which guarentees that the shadow
gets written exactly once, on a successful update to %dr7.
