target/arm: Access halt state atomically
arm_cpu_has_work() runs without the BQL held and can inspect
halt_reason and event_register while other CPU contexts update
them. The WFxT timer may also consume HALT_WFE asynchronously.
Use atomic accesses for the halt state, including the WFI/WFE
and halt-exit stores. This keeps the halt/wakeup protocol
race-free and matches the atomic state transitions used by the
asynchronous wake-up paths.
