selftests/mm: replace atomic_bool with pthread_barrier_t

Patch series "selftests/mm: fix deadlock after pthread_create".

On Android arm, pthread_create followed by a fork caused a deadlock in the
case where the fork required work to be completed by the created thread.

Update the synchronization primitive to use pthread_barrier instead of
atomic_bool.

Apply the same fix to the wp-fork-with-event test.


This patch (of 2):

Swap synchronization primitive with pthread_barrier, so that stdatomic.h
does not need to be included.

The synchronization is needed on Android ARM64; we see a deadlock with
pthread_create when the parent thread races forward before the child has a
chance to start doing work.
