powerpc/spufs: Fix possible scheduling of a context to multiple SPEs
We currently have a race when scheduling a context to a SPE - after we have found a runnable context in spusched_tick, the same context may have been scheduled by spu_activate(). This may result in a panic if we try to unschedule a context that has been freed in the meantime. This change exits spu_schedule() if the context has already been scheduled, so we don't end up scheduling it twice.
