tcg: consolidate TB lookups in tb_lookup__cpu_state
...
This avoids duplicating code. cpu_exec_step will also use the
new common function once we integrate parallel_cpus into tb->cflags.
Note that in this commit we also fix a race, described by Richard Henderson
during review. Think of this scenario with threads A and B:
(A) Lookup succeeds for TB in hash without tb_lock
(B) Sets the TB's tb->invalid flag
(B) Removes the TB from tb_htable
(B) Clears all CPU's tb_jmp_cache
(A) Store TB into local tb_jmp_cache
Given that order of events, (A) will keep executing that invalid TB until
another flush of its tb_jmp_cache happens, which in theory might never happen.
We can fix this by checking the tb->invalid flag every time we look up a TB
from tb_jmp_cache, so that in the above scenario, next time we try to find
that TB in tb_jmp_cache, we won't, and will therefore be forced to look it
up in tb_htable.
Performance-wise, I measured a small improvement when booting debian-arm.
Note that inlining pays off:
