The creation of control threads uses a pthread barrier for
synchronization. This patch fixes a race condition where the pthread
barrier could get destroyed while one of the threads has not yet
returned from the pthread_barrier_wait function, which could result in
undefined behaviour.

Fixes: 3a0d465d4c53 ("eal: fix use-after-free on control thread creation")
