    x86/traps: Fix error handling of the pv %dr7 shadow state
    
    c/s "x86/pv: Introduce and use x86emul_write_dr()" fixed a bug with IO 
shadow
    handling, in that it remained stale and visible until %dr7.L/G got set 
again.
    
    However, it neglected the -EPERM return inbetween these two hunks, 
introducing
    a different bug in which a write to %dr7 which tries to set IO breakpoints
    without %cr4.DE being set clobbers the IO state, rather than leaves it 
alone.
    
    Instead, move the zeroing slightly later, which guarentees that the shadow
    gets written exactly once, on a successful update to %dr7.
