Revert "selftests/mm: fix deadlock for fork after pthread_create on ARM"

Patch series "selftests/mm: revert pthread_barrier change"

On Android arm, pthread_create followed by a fork caused a deadlock in
the case where the fork required work to be completed by the created
thread.

The previous patches incorrectly assumed that the parent would
always initialize the pthread_barrier for the child thread.  This
reverts the change and replaces the fix for wp-fork-with-event with the
original use of atomic_bool.


This patch (of 3):

This reverts commit e142cc87.

fork_event_consumer may be called by other tests that do not initialize
the pthread_barrier, so this approach is not correct.  The subsequent
patch will revert to using atomic_bool instead.
