lib/dummyload: Handle timeout in a new thread instead of signal handler

Currently, the main thread needs to wakeup to run the signal handler
that ends a spin batch. When testing whether a function call succesfully
waits for a batch to complete, this behavior is undesired. It actually
invalidates the test.

Fix this by spawning a new thread to handle the timeout.

v2: Get rid of mutexes. (Chris)
