LoongArch: KVM: Add memory barrier before update pmd entry 



When updating pmd entry such as allocating new pmd page or splitting
huge page into normal page, it is necessary to firstly update all pte
entries, and then update pmd entry.

It is weak order with LoongArch system, there will be problem if other
VCPUs see pmd update firstly while ptes are not updated. Here smp_wmb()
is added to assure this.
