x86/process: Move the buffer clearing before MONITOR

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Commit 8e786a85c0a3c0fffae6244733fb576eeabd9dec upstream.

Move the VERW clearing before the MONITOR so that VERW doesn't disarm it
and the machine never enters C1.

Original idea by Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com>.
