e7e168f413 exec-all: extract tb->tc_* into a separate struct tc_tb
In preparation for adding tc.size to be able to keep track of
TB's using the binary search tree implementation from glib.

f6bb84d531 tcg: consolidate TB lookups in tb_lookup__cpu_state
This avoids duplicating code. cpu_exec_step will also use the
new common function once we integrate parallel_cpus into tb->cflags.

Note that in this commit we also fix a race, described by Richard Henderson
during review. Think of this scenario with threads A and B:

   (A) Lookup succeeds for TB in hash without tb_lock
        (B) Sets the TB's tb->invalid flag
        (B) Removes the TB from tb_htable
        (B) Clears all CPU's tb_jmp_cache
   (A) Store TB into local tb_jmp_cache

Given that order of events, (A) will keep executing that invalid TB until
another flush of its tb_jmp_cache happens, which in theory might never happen.
We can fix this by checking the tb->invalid flag every time we look up a TB
from tb_jmp_cache, so that in the above scenario, next time we try to find
that TB in tb_jmp_cache, we won't, and will therefore be forced to look it
up in tb_htable.

Performance-wise, I measured a small improvement when booting debian-arm.
Note that inlining pays off:

7f11636dbe tcg: remove addr argument from lookup_tb_ptr
It is unlikely that we will ever want to call this helper passing
an argument other than the current PC. So just remove the argument,
and use the pc we already get from cpu_get_tb_cpu_state.

This change paves the way to having a common "tb_lookup" function.
