x86: Add a 'pause' instruction in __udelay() for QEMU target
When running SMP configuration on QEMU (tcg mode, no kvm), there is
a busy loop in start_aps(), calling udelay(), that waits for APs to
show up online. However, there is a chance that VCPU1 will be timeout
waiting, IOW the secondary VCPUs haven't started their execution yet.
This patch adds a 'pause' instruction in __udelay() only for QEMU
target, to give other VCPUs a chance to run. When QEMU sees the
'pause' instruction, it will yeild the execution to other CPUs.
