[PATCH 3/3] selftests/mm: fix deadlock for fork after pthread_create with atomic_bool

[Edward Liaw <edliaw@google.com>]

Some additional 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: cff294582798 ("selftests/mm: extend and rename uffd pagemap test")
