coroutine-sigaltstack: Add SIGUSR2 mutex

Browse Source 
Disposition (action) for any given signal is global for the process.
When two threads run coroutine-sigaltstack's qemu_coroutine_new()
concurrently, they may interfere with each other: One of them may revert
the SIGUSR2 handler to SIG_DFL, between the other thread (a) setting up
coroutine_trampoline() as the handler and (b) raising SIGUSR2.  That
SIGUSR2 will then terminate the QEMU process abnormally.

We have to ensure that only one thread at a time can modify the
process-global SIGUSR2 handler.  To do so, wrap the whole section where
that is done in a mutex.

Alternatively, we could for example have the SIGUSR2 handler always be
coroutine_trampoline(), so there would be no need to invoke sigaction()
in qemu_coroutine_new().  Laszlo has posted a patch to do so here:

  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-01/msg05962.html

However, given that coroutine-sigaltstack is more of a fallback
implementation for platforms that do not support ucontext, that change
may be a bit too invasive to be comfortable with it.  The mutex proposed
here may negatively impact performance, but the change is much simpler.
