Paths through the softmmu code during code generation now need to be audited
to check for double locking of tb_lock. In particular, VMEXIT can take tb_lock
through cpu_vmexit -> cpu_x86_update_cr4 -> tlb_flush.
To avoid this, split VMEXIT delivery in two parts, similar to what is done with
exceptions. cpu_vmexit only records the VMEXIT exit code and information, and
cc->do_interrupt can then deliver it when it is safe to take the lock.
