tcg: remove global exit_request
There are now only two uses of the global exit_request left.
The first ensures we exit the run_loop when we first start to process
pending work and in the kick handler. This is just as easily done by
setting the first_cpu->exit_request flag.
The second use is in the round robin kick routine. The global
exit_request ensured every vCPU would set its local exit_request and
cause a full exit of the loop. Now the iothread isn't being held while
running we can just rely on the kick handler to push us out as intended.
We lightly re-factor the main vCPU thread to ensure cpu->exit_requests
cause us to exit the main loop and process any IO requests that might
come along. As an cpu->exit_request may legitimately get squashed
while processing the EXCP_INTERRUPT exception we also check
cpu->queued_work_first to ensure queued work is expedited as soon as
possible.
