main-loop: introduce qemu_mutex_iothread_locked
This function will be used to avoid recursive locking of the iothread lock whenever address_space_rw/ld*/st* are called with the BQL held, which is almost always the case. Tracking whether the iothread is owned is very cheap (just use a TLS variable) but requires some care because now the lock must always be taken with qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(). Previously this wasn'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!
