lib/igt_dummyload: Use timerfd rather than SIGEV_THREAD

Since timer_delete doesn't give us any guarantees that the thread and
its notify_function isn't currently running, we can hit a use-after-free
in a race condition scenario.
This causes a seemingly random segfault when igt_spin_end from notify
thread is called after igt_spin_free was already called from the main
thread.
Let's fix that by using timerfd and managing the timer thread ourselves.
