SMM: Move wbinvd after pmode jump
According to Rudolf Marek putting a memory instruction between
the CR0 write and the jmp in protected mode switching might hang the
machine. Move it after the jmp.
There might be a better solution for this, such as enabling the cache, as
keeping it disabled does not prevent cache poisoning attacks, so there is no
real point.
However, Intel docs say that SMM code in ASEG is always running uncached, so
we might want to consider running SMM out of TSEG instead, as well.
