cpus: reset throttle_thread_scheduled after sleep

Currently, the throttle_thread_scheduled flag is reset back to 0 before
sleeping (as part of the throttling logic). Given that throttle_timer
(well, any timer) may tick with a slight delay, it so happens that under
heavy throttling (ie. close or on CPU_THROTTLE_PCT_MAX) the tick may
schedule a further cpu_throttle_thread() work item after the flag reset,
but before the previous sleep completed. This results on the vCPU thread
sleeping continuously for potentially several seconds in a row.

The chances of that happening can be drastically minimised by resetting
the flag after the sleep.
