tcg: remove the final vestiges of dstate

Now we no longer have dynamic state affecting things we can remove the
additional fields in cpu.h and simplify the TB hash calculation.

For the benchmark:

    hyperfine -w 2 -m 20 \
      "./arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -cpu cortex-a15 \
        -machine type=virt,highmem=off \
        -display none -m 2048 \
        -serial mon:stdio \
        -netdev user,id=unet,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
        -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=unet \
        -device virtio-scsi-pci \
        -blockdev driver=raw,node-name=hd,discard=unmap,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/zen-disk/debian-bullseye-armhf \
        -device scsi-hd,drive=hd -smp 4 \
        -kernel /home/alex/lsrc/linux.git/builds/arm/arch/arm/boot/zImage \
        -append 'console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/sda2 systemd.unit=benchmark.service' \
        -snapshot"

It has a marginal effect on runtime, before:

  Time (mean ± σ):     26.279 s ±  2.438 s    [User: 41.113 s, System: 1.843 s]
  Range (min … max):   24.420 s … 32.565 s    20 runs

after:

  Time (mean ± σ):     24.440 s ±  2.885 s    [User: 34.474 s, System: 2.028 s]
  Range (min … max):   21.663 s … 29.937 s    20 runs
