lguest: fix race in halt code
When the Guest does the LHCALL_HALT hypercall, we go to sleep, expecting that a timer or the Waker will wake_up_process() us. But we do it in a stupid way, leaving a classic missing wakeup race. So split maybe_do_interrupt() into interrupt_pending() and try_deliver_interrupt(), and check maybe_do_interrupt() and the "break_out" flag before calling schedule.
