um: time-travel/signals: fix ndelay() in interrupt



We should be able to ndelay() from any context, even from an
interrupt context! However, this is broken (not functionally,
but locking-wise) in time-travel because we'll get into the
time-travel code and enable interrupts to handle messages on
other time-travel aware subsystems (only virtio for now).

Luckily, I've already reworked the time-travel aware signal
(interrupt) delivery for suspend/resume to have a time travel
handler, which runs directly in the context of the signal and
not from the Linux interrupt.

In order to fix this time-travel issue then, we need to do a
few things:

 1) rework the signal handling code to call time-travel handlers
    (only) if interrupts are disabled but signals aren't blocked,
    instead of marking it only pending there. This is needed to
    not deadlock other communication.
 2) rework time-travel to not enable interrupts while it's
    waiting for a message;
 3) rework time-travel to not (just) disable interrupts but
    rather block signals at a lower level while it needs them
    disabled for communicating with the controller.

Finally, since now we can actually spend even virtual time
in interrupts-disabled sections, the delay warning when we
deliver a time-travel delayed interrupt is no longer valid,
things can (and should) now get delayed.
