hw/core/resettable: fix reset level counting
The code for handling the reset level count in the Resettable code has two issues: The reset count is only decremented for the 1->0 case. This means that if there's ever a nested reset that takes the count to 2 then it will never again be decremented. Eventually the count will exceed the '50' limit in resettable_phase_enter() and QEMU will trip over the assertion failure. The repro case in issue 1266 is an example of this that happens now the SCSI subsystem uses three-phase reset. Secondly, the count is decremented only after the exit phase handler is called. Moving the reset count decrement from "just after" to "just before" calling the exit phase handler allows resettable_is_in_reset() to return false during the handler execution. This simplifies reset handling in resettable devices. Typically, a function that updates the device state will just need to read the current reset state and not anymore treat the "in a reset-exit transition" as a special case. Note that the semantics change to the *_is_in_reset() functions will have no effect on the current codebase, because only two devices (hw/char/cadence_uart.c and hw/misc/zynq_sclr.c) currently call those functions, and in neither case do they do it from the device's exit phase methed.

Resettable interface provides the ``resettable_is_in_reset()`` function.
This function returns true if the object parameter is currently under reset.
-An object is under reset from the beginning of the *init* phase to the end of
-the *exit* phase. During all three phases, the function will return that the
-object is in reset.
+An object is under reset from the beginning of the *enter* phase (before
+either its children or its own enter method is called) to the *exit*
+phase. During *enter* and *hold* phase only, the function will return that the
+object is in reset. The state is changed after the *exit* is propagated to
+its children and just before calling the object's own *exit* method.
This function may be used if the object behavior has to be adapted
while in reset state. For example if a device has an irq input,
