This commit removes the RQF_IDLECHECK_WK_MASK check *before*
the CLI instruction when MONITOR/MWAIT is unavailable, because
of how C evaluates expressions. Some strange panic in vm_map_lookup()
started annoying me after upgrading the kernel recently, and
bisecting showed that this is the first commit with the problem.
I'm running the kernel with the following change to see if it
fixes the panic, which usually takes several hours to be triggered.
