Instead of unconditionally exiting to the exec loop, use the
lookup_tb_ptr helper to jump to the target if it is valid.
As long as the hit rate in tb_jmp_cache remains high, this
will improve performance.

Perf impact: see the next commit's log.

This does not compile for aarch64.  You need to tcg_gen_extu_i32_tl first.
