On 2.6.24, top started showing 100% iowait on one CPU when a UML instance was
running (but completely idle).  The UML code sits in io_getevents waiting for
an event to be submitted and completed.

Fix this by checking ctx->reqs_active before scheduling to determine whether
or not we are waiting for I/O.
