[PATCH spice-server 04/16] test-display-base: Protect the wake up timer start with a mutex

[Frediano Ziglio <fziglio@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Timers in spice server are supposed to be used in a single thread
context. To avoid problems protect the usage from multiple
thread with a mutex.
This sometimes caused a crash.
