[PULL 27/34] migration/multifd: Remove p->running

[peterx]

From: Fabiano Rosas <farosas@suse.de>

We currently only need p->running to avoid calling qemu_thread_join()
on a non existent thread if the thread has never been created.

However, there are at least two bugs in this logic:

1) On the sending side, p->running is set too early and
qemu_thread_create() can be skipped due to an error during TLS
handshake, leaving the flag set and leading to a crash when
multifd_send_cleanup() calls qemu_thread_join().

2) During exit, the multifd thread clears the flag while holding the
channel lock. The counterpart at multifd_send_cleanup() reads the flag
outside of the lock and might free the mutex while the multifd thread
still has it locked.

Fix the first issue by setting the flag right before creating the
thread. Rename it from p->running to p->thread_created to clarify its
usage.

Fix the second issue by not clearing the flag at the multifd thread
exit. We don't have any use for that.

Note that these bugs are straight-forward logic issues and not race
conditions. There is still a gap for races to affect this code due to
multifd_send_cleanup() being allowed to run concurrently with the
thread creation loop. This issue is solved in the next patches.
