user-exec: handle synchronous signals from QEMU gracefully
When "tcg: enable thread-per-vCPU" (commit 3725794) was merged the lifetime of current_cpu was changed. Previously a broken linux-user call might abort() which can eventually escalate into a SIGSEGV which would then crash qemu as it attempted to deref a NULL current_cpu. After commit 3725794 it would attempt to fixup state and re-start the run-loop and much hilarity (i.e. a looping lockup) would ensue from jumping into a stale jmp_env. As we can actually tell if we are in the run-loop from looking at the cpu->running flag we should catch this badness first and abort() cleanly rather than try to soldier on. There is a theoretical race between the flag being set and sigsetjmp refreshing the jump buffer but we can try really hard to not introduce crashes into that code.
