runtime: fix CPU underutilization

Runqempty is a critical predicate for scheduler. If runqempty spuriously
returns true, then scheduler can fail to schedule arbitrary number of
runnable goroutines on idle Ps for arbitrary long time. With the addition
of runnext runqempty predicate become broken (can spuriously return true).
Consider that runnext is not nil and the main array is empty. Runqempty
observes that the array is empty, then it is descheduled for some time.
Then queue owner pushes another element to the queue evicting runnext
into the array. Then queue owner pops runnext. Then runqempty resumes
and observes runnext is nil and returns true. But there were no point
in time when the queue was empty.

Fix runqempty predicate to not return true spuriously.
