Create an inline function for clflush(), with the proper arguments,
and use it instead of hard-coding the instruction.
This also removes one instance of hard-coded wbinvd, based on a patch
by Bauder de Oliveira Costa.

This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on
Intel x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be executable with
these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel x86_64 CPU.
Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level
page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to
section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual). So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when
splitting the huge PMD.
