x86: extend runstate area updates

In order to give guests a hint at whether their vCPU-s are currently
scheduled (so they can e.g. adapt their behavior in spin loops),
update
the run state area (if registered) also when de-scheduling a vCPU.

Also fix an oversight in the compat mode implementation of
VCPUOP_register_runstate_memory_area.
