tcg: Prepare safe access to tb_flushed out of tb_lock


Ensure atomicity and ordering of CPU's 'tb_flushed' access for future
translation block lookup out of 'tb_lock'.

This field can only be touched from another thread by tb_flush() in user
mode emulation. So the only access to be sequential atomic is:
 * a single write in tb_flush();
 * reads/writes out of 'tb_lock'.

In future, before enabling MTTCG in system mode, tb_flush() must be safe
and this field becomes unnecessary.
