user-exec: handle synchronous signals from QEMU gracefully

Browse Source 
When "tcg: enable thread-per-vCPU" (commit 3725794) was merged the
lifetime of current_cpu was changed. Previously a broken linux-user
call might abort() which can eventually escalate into a SIGSEGV which
would then crash qemu as it attempted to deref a NULL current_cpu.
After commit 3725794 it would attempt to fixup state and re-start the
run-loop and much hilarity (i.e. a looping lockup) would ensue from
jumping into a stale jmp_env.

As we can actually tell if we are in the run-loop from looking at the
cpu->running flag we should catch this badness first and abort()
cleanly rather than try to soldier on. There is a theoretical race
between the flag being set and sigsetjmp refreshing the jump buffer
but we can try really hard to not introduce crashes into that code.
