migration/multifd: Remove p->running
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.
