migration: Fix missing join() of rp_thread

Browse Source 
It's possible that the migration thread skip the join() of the rp_thread in
below race and crash on src right at finishing migration:

       migration_thread                     rp_thread
       ----------------                     ---------
    migration_completion()
                                        (before rp_thread quits)
                                        from_dst_file=NULL
                                        [thread got scheduled out]
      s->rp_state.from_dst_file==NULL
        (skip join() of rp_thread)
    migrate_fd_cleanup()
      qemu_fclose(s->to_dst_file)
      yank_unregister_instance()
        assert(yank_find_entry())  <------- crash

It could mostly happen with postcopy, but that shouldn't be required, e.g., I
think it could also trigger with MIGRATION_CAPABILITY_RETURN_PATH set.

It's suspected that above race could be the root cause of a recent (but rare)
migration-test break reported by either Dave or PMM:

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/YPamXAHwan%2FPPXLf@work-vm/

The issue is: from_dst_file is reset in the rp_thread, so if the thread reset
it to NULL fast enough then the migration thread will assume there's no
rp_thread at all.

This could potentially cause more severe issue (e.g. crash) after the yank code.

Fix it by using a boolean to keep "whether we've created rp_thread".
