x86: change_page_attr bandaids

- Disable CLFLUSH again; it is still broken. Always do WBINVD.
- Always flush in the i386 case, not only when there are deferred pages.

These are both brute-force inefficient fixes, to be improved
next release cycle.

The changes to i386 are a little more extensive than strictly
needed (some dead code added), but it is more similar to the x86-64 version
now and the dead code will be used soon.
