common/wait: Clarifications to wait infrastructure

This logic is not as clear as it could be.  Add some comments to help.

Rearrange the asm block in __prepare_to_wait() to separate the GPR
saving/restoring from the internal logic.

While tweaking, add an unreachable() following the jmp in
check_wakeup_from_wait().

No functional change.
