exec.c: Fix breakpoint invalidation race
A bug (1647683) was reported showing a crash when removing breakpoints. The reproducer was bisected to 3359baad when tb_flush was finally made thread safe. While in MTTCG the locking in breakpoint_invalidate would have prevented any problems, but currently tb_lock() is a NOP for system emulation. The race is between a tb_flush from the gdbstub and the tb_invalidate_phys_addr() in breakpoint_invalidate(). Ideally we'd have actual locking here; for the moment the simple fix is to do a full tb_flush() for a bp invalidate, since that is thread-safe even if no lock is taken.
