x86/paravirt: remove lazy mode in interrupts
Impact: simplification, robustness Make paravirt_lazy_mode() always return PARAVIRT_LAZY_NONE when in an interrupt. This prevents interrupt code from accidentally inheriting an outer lazy state, and instead does everything synchronously. Outer batched operations are left deferred.
