qom: convert the CPU list to RCU

Iterating over the list without using atomics is undefined behaviour,
since the list can be modified concurrently by other threads (e.g.
every time a new thread is created in user-mode).

Fix it by implementing the CPU list as an RCU QTAILQ. This requires
a little bit of extra work to traverse list in reverse order (see
previous patch), but other than that the conversion is trivial.
