Don't hold mutex until release cv in cv_wait
If a thread is holding mutex when doing cv_destroy, it might end up waiting a
thread in cv_wait. The waiter would wake up trying to aquire the same mutex
and cause deadlock.
We solve this by move the mutex_enter to the bottom of cv_wait, so that
the waiter will release the cv first, allowing cv_destroy to succeed and have
a chance to free the mutex.
This would create race condition on the cv_mutex. We use xchg to set and check
it to ensure we won't be harmed by the race. This would result in the cv_mutex
debugging becomes best-effort.
Also, the change reveals a race, which was unlikely before, where we call
mutex_destroy while test threads are still holding the mutex. We use
kthread_stop to make sure the threads are exit before mutex_destroy.
