Series accel/tcg: remove implied BQL from cpu_handle_interrupt/exception path | expand

Commit Message

We are changing the critical section from being around
the majority of the cpu_handle_interrupt to instead
be around just the call to ->cpu_exec_interrupt.

This is in preparation for pushing down the BQL into the
per arch implementation.

We should mention that we discussed these changes as well as
some open questions here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg01189.html
With the main open question being:
BQL is clearly needed to protect the critical section around the call to
->cpu_exec_interrupt.  What else is the BQL protecting in cpu_handle_interrupt
that we need to consider?  Are we missing anything here?

The comment no longer has an "it" to reference.
We should probably expand that to mention which lock.

Otherwise,
