[POWERPC] spufs: Don't call spu_run_init from spu_reacquire_runnable
This fixes a major bug which was happening when a SPU thread advances its execution right after being restored to a SPU. A potentially outdated NPC value was being (re)written to the SPU. So, spu_run_init, in this case, was either not doing anything relevant, or breaking the execution of the SPU thread. This fixes a common problem of losing a mailbox write when it was done to a saved context.
