As Scott put it:

> If we get a signal after the check, we want to be sure that we don't
> receive the reschedule IPI until after we're in the guest, so that it
> will cause another signal check.

we need to have interrupts disabled from the point we do signal_check()
all the way until we actually enter the guest.

This patch fixes potential signal loss races.
