main-loop: use qemu_mutex_lock_iothread consistently

The next patch will require the BQL to be always taken with
qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(), while right now this isn't the case.

Outside TCG mode this is not a problem.  In TCG mode, we need to be
careful and avoid the "prod out of compiled code" step if already
in a VCPU thread.  This is easily done with a check on current_cpu,
i.e. qemu_in_vcpu_thread().

Hopefully, multithreaded TCG will get rid of the whole logic to kick
VCPUs whenever an I/O event occurs!
