Add a memory barrier between writing vcpu->requests and reading
vcpu->guest_mode to ensure the read is ordered after the write when
(potentially) delivering an IRQ to L2 via nested posted interrupt. If
the request were to be completed after reading vcpu->mode, it would be
possible for the target vCPU to enter the guest without posting the
interrupt and without handling the event request.
Note, the barrier is only for documentation since atomic operations are
serializing on x86.
