Fix: thread exit vs futex wait/wakeup race
relayd_live_stop performs, in this order:
CMM_STORE_SHARED(live_dispatch_thread_exit, 1); [A]
futex_nto1_wake(&viewer_conn_queue.futex); [B]
whereas thread_dispatcher does:
while (!CMM_LOAD_SHARED(live_dispatch_thread_exit)) { [1]
[...]
futex_nto1_prepare(&viewer_conn_queue.futex); [2]
[...]
futex_nto1_wait(&viewer_conn_queue.futex); [3]
Unfortunately, on the following sequence:
[1] [A] [B] [2] [3]
thread_dispatcher will end up hanging.
We need to move the live_dispatch_thread_exit load between "prepare" and
"wait" to fix this.
There are similar scenarios with relay_thread_dispatcher, and the
session daemon thread_dispatch_ust_registration, which are also fixed
here.
