eal: fix thread race in control thread creation

When ctrl_thread_init transitions params->ctrl_thread_status from CTRL_THREAD_LAUNCHING the creating thread and new thread may run concurrently leading to unsynchronized access to params.

This permits races for both the failure and success paths after ctrl_thread_status is stored.
* params->ret may be loaded in ctrl_thread_init failure path
* params->arg may be loaded in ctrl_thread_start or control_thread_start when calling start_routine.

For ctrl_thread_init remove the params->ret load and just return 1 since it is only interpreted as a indicator of success / failure of ctrl_thread_init.

For {ctrl,control}_thread_start store param->arg in stack allocated storage prior to calling ctrl_thread_init and use the copy when calling start_routine.

For control_thread_start if ctrl_thread_init fails just return 0 instead of loading params->ret, since the value returned is unused when ctrl_thread_status is set to CTRL_THREAD_ERROR when ctrl_thread_init fails.
