This fixes a bug which results in stale vcore pointers being left in
the per-cpu preempted vcore lists when a VM is destroyed. The result
of the stale vcore pointers is usually either a crash or a lockup
inside collect_piggybacks() when another VM is run. A typical
lockup message looks like:

The bug is that kvmppc_run_vcpu does not correctly handle the case
where a vcpu task receives a signal while its guest vcpu is executing
in the guest as a result of being piggy-backed onto the execution of
another vcore. In that case we need to wait for the vcpu to finish
executing inside the guest, and then remove this vcore from the
preempted vcores list. That way, we avoid leaving this vcpu's vcore
on the preempted vcores list when the vcpu gets interrupted.
