e3cce9af10b06c51434ced4e1a6686f1ce43e124 migration/multifd: Simplify locking in sender thread
The sender thread will yield the p->mutex before IO starts, trying to not
block the requester thread. This may be unnecessary lock optimizations,
because the requester can already read pending_job safely even without the
lock, because the requester is currently the only one who can assign a
task.
Drop that lock complication on both sides:
(1) in the sender thread, always take the mutex until job done
(2) in the requester thread, check pending_job clear lockless
