6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Edward Liaw <edliaw@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e142cc87ac4ec618f2ccf5f68aedcd6e28a59d9d upstream.

On Android with arm, there is some synchronization needed to avoid a
deadlock when forking after pthread_create.
