From: Fabiano Rosas <farosas@suse.de>

It is possible that one of the multifd channels fails to be created at
multifd_new_send_channel_async() while the rest of the channel
creation tasks are still in flight.

This could lead to multifd_save_cleanup() executing the
qemu_thread_join() loop too early and not waiting for the threads
which haven't been created yet, leading to the freeing of resources
that the newly created threads will try to access and crash.

Add a synchronization point after which there will be no attempts at
thread creation and therefore calling multifd_save_cleanup() past that
point will ensure it properly waits for the threads.

A note about performance: Prior to this patch, if a channel took too
long to be established, other channels could finish connecting first
and already start taking load. Now we're bounded by the
slowest-connecting channel.
