cpus: fix deadlock and segfault in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread
When two threads (other than the low-priority TCG VCPU thread)
are competing for the iothread lock, a deadlock can happen. This
is because iothread_requesting_mutex is set to false by the first
thread that gets the mutex, and then the VCPU thread might never
yield from the execution loop. If iothread_requesting_mutex is
changed from a bool to a counter, the deadlock is fixed.
However, there is another bug in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread that
can be triggered by the new call_rcu thread. The bug happens
if qemu_mutex_lock_iothread is called before the CPUs are
created. In that case, first_cpu is NULL and the caller
segfaults in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread. To fix this, just
do not do the kick if first_cpu is NULL.
