Swaps synchronization primitive with pthread_barrier, so that
stdatomic.h does not need to be included.
The synchronization is needed on Android ARM64; we see a deadlock with
pthread_create when the parent thread races forward before the child has
a chance to start doing work.
Fixes: 8c864371b2a1 ("selftests/mm: fix ARM related issue with fork after
pthread_create")
