cpu-exec: fix missed CPU kick during interrupt injection
The conditional memory barrier not only looks strange but actually is
wrong.
On s390x, I can reproduce interrupts via cpu_interrupt() not leading to
a proper kick out of emulation every now and then. cpu_interrupt() is
especially used for inter CPU communication via SIGP (esp. external
calls and emergency interrupts).
With this patch, I was not able to reproduce. (esp. no stalls or hangs
in the guest).
My setup is s390x MTTCG with 16 VCPUs on 8 CPU host, running make -j16.
