Kick io-thread on qemu_chr_accept_input

Once a chr frontend is able to receive input again, we need to inform
the io-thread about this fact. Otherwise, main_loop_wait may continue to
select without the related backend file descriptor in its set. This can
cause high input latencies if only low-rate events arrive otherwise.
