[PATCH 1/2] selftests/mm: replace atomic_bool with pthread_barrier_t

[Edward Liaw <edliaw@google.com>]

Swaps 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.

Fixes: 8c864371b2a1 ("selftests/mm: fix ARM related issue with fork after
pthread_create")
