cpu/native: fix race condition in thread_yield_higher()

Error case:
1. thread_yield_higher() stores the thread's ucontext
2. creates an "isr ucontext" for isr_thread_yield, switches to it

Case 1: no signals are pending, continues in isr_thread_yield()
3a. sched_run is called
4a. return to sched_active_thread ucontext

Case 2: signals pending (the crashing scenario), continues in native_irq_handler()
3b. handles signals
4b. if sched_context_switch_request is set, call sched_run
5b. return to sched_active_thread ucontext

4b misses the call to sched_run(), leading to a possible return into a
non-ready thread.
