Fix race condition on access to env->interrupt_request

env->interrupt_request is accessed as the bit level from both main code
and signal handler, making a race condition possible even on CISC CPU.
This causes freeze of QEMU under high load when running the dyntick
clock.

The patch below move the bit corresponding to CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT in a
separate variable, declared as volatile sig_atomic_t, so it should be
work even on RISC CPU.

We may want to move the cpu_interrupt(env, CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT) case in
its own function and get rid of CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT. That can be done
later, I wanted to keep the patch short for easier review.
