qemu: Fix qemu_cpu_kick_thread on init

When QEMU starts the RCU thread executes qemu_mutex_lock_thread
causing error "qemu:qemu_cpu_kick_thread: No such process" and exits.

For detail explanation see upstream patch.

[YOCTO #8143]

+Subject: [PATCH] cpus.c: qemu_mutex_lock_iothread fix race condition at cpu
+ thread init
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When QEMU starts the RCU thread executes qemu_mutex_lock_thread
+causing error "qemu:qemu_cpu_kick_thread: No such process" and exits.
+
+This isn't occur frequently but in glibc the thread id can exist and
+this not guarantee that the thread is on active/running state. If is
+inserted a sleep(1) after newthread assignment [1] the issue appears.
+
+So not make assumption that thread exist if first_cpu->thread is set
+then change the validation of cpu to created that is set into cpu
+threads (kvm, tcg, dummy).
