rt: fix new yield_now behavior with block_in_place (#5251)

PR #5223 changed the behavior of `yield_now()` to store yielded tasks
and notify them *after* polling the resource drivers. This PR fixes a
couple of bugs with this new behavior when combined with
`block_in_place()`.

First, we need to avoid freeing the deferred task queue when exiting a
runtime if it is *not* the root runtime. Because `block_in_place()`
allows a user to start a new runtime from within an existing task, this
check is necessary.

Second, when a worker core is stolen from a thread during a
`block_in_place()` call, we need to ensure that deferred tasks are
notified anyway.
