Move assert for qemu-system.

No, this is a real bug.

Just above we handled

 (1) exit for tcg (non-)chaining (!= TB_EXIT_REQUESTED),
 (2) exit for exception/interrupt (cpu_loop_exit_requested).

The only thing that is left is exit for icount expired.
And for that we *must* have icount enabled.

How did you encounter this?

I spent last week incorporating your suggestions. And during the flux of it, I 
started
seeing this issue again. As soon as I switch to branch from where I sent the 
patches out,
this icount assert issue disappears. So something definitley is triggering the 
issue.
It happens only when zicfilp and zicfiss are enabled.

I am still trying to root cause and in a fog right now. Although I am not very 
well versed
with tcg internals. So any pointer here which could help me debug it faster 
would be well
appreciated. Thanks.
