kernel - Reduce lwp_signotify() latency
* lwp_signotify() was not issuing an IPI to another cpu if the target
thread was in a run state, preventing that thread from seeing the
signal for roughly one scheduler tick.
* This interferes with programs like qemu which depend on signaling
between threads for the timer tick and numerous other things,
causing timers to behave poorly.
* Fix by issuing the necessary IPI.
