[PATCH] tests: fix iothread_join() race condition

[PATCH] tests: fix iothread_join() race condition

[Paolo Bonzini]

This is a similar race condition to the one fixed in commit 2362a28ea1
("iothread: fix iothread_stop() race condition", 2017-12-19), which in this case
was exposed as a failure in test-aio-multithread.  Here, the iothread->stopping
flag was set too soon, and the AioContext could be destroyed before the
last round of entering scheduled coroutines and bottom halves.  The fix is
similar.
