vm_event: synchronize vCPU state in vm_event_resume()

Vm_event_vcpu_pause() needs to use vcpu_pause_nosync() in order
for the current vCPU to not get stuck. A consequence of this is
that the custom vm_event response handlers will not always see
the real vCPU state in v->arch.user_regs. This patch makes sure
that the state is always synchronized in vm_event_resume, before
any handlers have been called. This problem especially affects
vm_event_set_registers().

Simply checking vm_event_pause_count to make sure the vCPU is
paused suffices since there's only one ring / consumer at a
time, and events are being processed one-by-one, so the
toolstack won't unpause the vCPU behind our backs.
