If ACTIVITY_INACTIVE is set, wait for GC before resetting it

I don't think this fixes any real bugs, but there's a small
possibility that when the RTS is woken up for an idle-time GC, the IO
manager thread might be pre-empted which would prevent the idle GC
from happening; this change ensures that the idle GC happens anyway.
