cpus.c: ensure running CPU recalculates icount deadlines on timer expiry

When we run in TCG icount mode, we calculate the number of instructions
to execute using tcg_get_icount_limit(), which ensures that we stop
execution at the next timer deadline. However there is a bug where
currently we do not recalculate that limit if the guest reprograms
a timer so that the next deadline moves closer, and so we will
continue execution until the original limit and fire the timer
later than we should.

Fix this bug in qemu_timer_notify_cb(): if we are currently running
a VCPU in icount mode, we simply need to kick it out of the main
loop and back to tcg_cpu_exec(), where it will recalculate the
icount limit. If we are not currently running a VCPU, then we
retain the existing logic for waking up a halted CPU.
