    arch: cxd56xx: Fix the pause handler for SMP
    
    Summary:
    - I noticed that sched_add_readytorun() runs on multiple CPUs simultaneously
    - Finally, I found the root cause which was described in TODO
    - Actually, the task newly scheduled on remote CPU did not acquire 
g_cpu_irqlock
    - This commit fixes this issue by adding a critical section to the pause 
handler
    - Which will acquire g_cpu_irqlock on the remote CPU explicitly
    
    Impact:
    - SMP only
    
    Testing:
    - Tested with spresense:wifi_smp (NCPUS=2 and 4)
    - Run smp, ostest, nxplayer
