[PATCH v2 06/25] migration: Add postcopy_thread_create()

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

Postcopy create threads. A common manner is we init a sem and use it to sync
with the thread.  Namely, we have fault_thread_sem and listen_thread_sem and
they're only used for this.

Make it a shared infrastructure so it's easier to create yet another thread.
