thread-pool: signal "request_cond" while locked
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
thread_pool_free() might have been called on the `pool`, which would
be a reason for worker_thread() to quit. In this case,
`pool->request_cond` is been destroyed.

If worker_thread() didn't managed to signal `request_cond` before it
been destroyed by thread_pool_free(), we got:
    util/qemu-thread-posix.c:198: qemu_cond_signal: Assertion `cond->initialized' failed.

One backtrace:
    __GI___assert_fail (assertion=0x55555614abcb "cond->initialized", file=0x55555614ab88 "util/qemu-thread-posix.c", line=198,
	function=0x55555614ad80 <__PRETTY_FUNCTION__.17104> "qemu_cond_signal") at assert.c:101

To avoid issue, keep lock while sending a signal to `request_cond`.
