cpu: Fix Minor SMT WFI/drain interaction issues
The behavior of WFI is to cause minor to cease evaluating pipeline logic until an interrupt is observed, however a user may wish to drain the system while a core is sleeping due to a WFI. This patch makes WFI drain. If an actual drain occurs during a WFI, the CPU is already drained and will immediately be ready for swapping, checkpointing, etc. This should not negatively impact performance as WFI instructions are 'stream-changing' (treated like unpredicted branches), so all remaining instructions are wrong-path and will be squashed rapidly.
