r300g: offload the CS ioctl to another thread

This is a multi-threading optimization which hides the kernel overhead
behind a thread. It improves performance in CPU-limited apps by 2-15%.
Of course you must have at least 2 cores for it to make any difference.

It can be disabled with:

export RADEON_THREAD=0
