kvm,mips: Fix potential swait_active() races

For example, the following could occur, making us miss a wakeup:

CPU0 CPU1
kvm_vcpu_block kvm_mips_comparecount_func
  [L] swait_active(&vcpu->wq)
  [S] prepare_to_swait(&vcpu->wq)
  [L] if (!kvm_vcpu_has_pending_timer(vcpu))
         schedule()                       [S] queue_timer_int(vcpu)

Ensure that the swait_active() check is not hoisted over the interrupt.
