cyclic: return early from cyclic_run() if the list is empty
It is possible that schedule(), and hence cyclic_run(), gets called very early, perhaps even from assembly code. With commit9c1b13b3fd("cyclic: reduce get_timer_us() calls inside hlist_for_each_entry_safe()"), there is now an unconditional get_timer_us(0) done outside the loop, and depending on the platform, the timer infrastructure may not be set up yet. In at least one case, that has caused a divide-by-0 and hence a failure to boot. Platforms should really ensure their timers are ready ASAP, and in the concrete case reported, that was indeed possible to fix that way. However, it doesn't hurt to also insert an early return here, and that could prevent other such hard-to-debug boot failures.
