Now we recycle the uffd servicing threads earlier than the lock threads. It might happen that when the lock thread is still blocked at a pthread mutex lock while the servicing thread has already quitted for the cpu so the lock thread will be blocked forever and hang the test program. To fix the possible race, recycle the lock threads first. This never happens with current missing-only tests, but when I start to run the write-protection tests (the feature is not yet posted upstream) it happens every time of the run possibly because in that new test we'll need to service two page faults for each lock operation.
