commit 591687564c0c466cee1c900748aa8abe335e930b

    target/aarch64: fix semihosting on SMP
    
    Semihosting worked only on the first/gdb assigned core of a SMP group.
    If a semihosting call was issued on another core, aarch64_update_halt_gdb()
    emitted 'halted' event on core0 before semihosting decoding started.
    
    Use target's smp_halt_event_postponed flag to keep events from emitting
    until semihosting is decoded. If a semihosting call is confirmed,
    clear flags and do not send 'halted' event for any core of SMP group.
