73713fbb27 Drop high rank locks when creating threads.
Avoid holding arenas_lock and background_thread_lock when creating background
threads, because pthread_create may take internal locks, and potentially cause
deadlock with jemalloc internal locks.

c84ec3e9da Fix background thread creation.
The state initialization should be done before pthread_create.

b511232fcd Refactor/fix background_thread/percpu_arena bootstrapping.
Refactor bootstrapping such that dlsym() is called during the
bootstrapping phase that can tolerate reentrant allocation.

66813916b5 Track background thread status separately at fork.
Use a separate boolean to track the enabled status, instead of leaving the
global background thread status inconsistent.

0eae838b0d Check for background thread inactivity on extents_dalloc.
To avoid background threads sleeping forever with idle arenas, we eagerly check
background threads' sleep time after extents_dalloc, and signal the thread if
necessary.

b693c7868e Implementing opt.background_thread.
Added opt.background_thread to enable background threads, which handles purging
currently.  When enabled, decay ticks will not trigger purging (which will be
left to the background threads).  We limit the max number of threads to NCPUs.
When percpu arena is enabled, set CPU affinity for the background threads as
well.

The sleep interval of background threads is dynamic and determined by computing
number of pages to purge in the future (based on backlog).
