firmware: fix TOCTTOU race in sync/async RPC code.

Before this commit, the main loop in session code was laid like:

  1. process_kern_queued_rpc
  2. process_host_message
  3. process_kern_message

If a host message (such as an RPC reply) caused the kernel to exit,
then any async RPCs would not complete, since RunFinished immediately
shuts down the kernel.

Fix this by reordering 1 and 2.
