qemu-thread: fix qemu_event without futexes
This had a possible deadlock that was visible with rcutorture.
qemu_event_set qemu_event_wait
----------------------------------------------------------------
cmpxchg reads FREE, writes BUSY
futex_wait: pthread_mutex_lock
futex_wait: value == BUSY
xchg reads BUSY, writes SET
futex_wake: pthread_cond_broadcast
futex_wait: pthread_cond_wait
<deadlock>
The fix is simply to avoid condvar tricks and do the obvious locking
around pthread_cond_broadcast:
qemu_event_set qemu_event_wait
----------------------------------------------------------------
cmpxchg reads FREE, writes BUSY
futex_wait: pthread_mutex_lock
futex_wait: value == BUSY
xchg reads BUSY, writes SET
futex_wake: pthread_mutex_lock
(blocks)
futex_wait: pthread_cond_wait
(mutex unlocked)
futex_wake: pthread_cond_broadcast
futex_wake: pthread_mutex_unlock
futex_wait: pthread_mutex_unlock
