3.8.13.21 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <rkrcmar at redhat.com>

commit 596f3142d2b7be307a1652d59e7b93adab918437 upstream.

We always disable cr8 intercept in its handler, but only re-enable it
if handling KVM_REQ_EVENT, so there can be a window where we do not
intercept cr8 writes, which allows an interrupt to disrupt a higher
priority task.

Fix this by disabling intercepts in the same function that re-enables
them when needed. This fixes BSOD in Windows 2008.
