refactor: merge run_on_thread_local into signal handler

Merge run_on_thread_local into signal handler since it is
only used there.
The error returned from run_on_thread_local was ignored, so
instead replace it with logic to only use vcpu ptr if
TLS is initialized, without returning any errors.
The reason for not asserting on TLS being initialized here
is that during Firecracker shutdown, vcpus will be destroyed
and TLS will be reset. If signal will be send to Firecracker
during that time, the TLS accessed from a signal handler will
be empty. But this is expected, so no assertions/panics are needed.

Because Rust is a good language, it does not allow to reference
TLS_VCPU_PTR definded inside impl block inside the signal_handler
function. So move the TLS_VCPU_PTR definition outside the Vcpu impl
block.
