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.
