Allow to use pause_all_vcpus from VCPU context

In order to perform critical manipulations on the VM state in the
context of a VCPU, specifically code patching, stopping and resuming of
all VCPUs may be necessary. resume_all_vcpus is already compatible, now
enable pause_all_vcpus for this use case by stopping the calling context
before starting to wait for the whole gang.
