env->interrupt_request is accessed as the bit level from both main code and signal handler, making a race condition possible even on CISC CPU. This causes freeze of QEMU under high load when running the dyntick clock. The patch below move the bit corresponding to CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT in a separate variable, declared as volatile sig_atomic_t, so it should be work even on RISC CPU. We may want to move the cpu_interrupt(env, CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT) case in its own function and get rid of CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT. That can be done later, I wanted to keep the patch short for easier review.
