arch-x86: Make LFENCE a serializing instruction
According to the Intel SDM, no instruction following an LFENCE can begin execution until after the LFENCE has executed. (This is less strict than an actual serializing instruction, such as CPUID.) Serializing instructions (per intel SDM Volume 3A Chapter 8.3) ensure that no future instruction is fetched until after the serializing instruction is completed. By contrast, LFENCE (and other memory-ordering instructions) allows future instructions to have been fetched; it just prohibits them from being executed.
