Ralph Castain 27f3d417ca Revert the MPI_Init fence operations to use volatile bool instead of thread macros.
The problem is that the waiting thread is cycling using OMPI_LAZY_WAIT_FOR_COMPLETION so it can exercise opal_progress. This probably isn't as critical for the modex step, but definitely necessary for the barrier at the end of mpi_init. The problem this creates is that the lazy macro exits as soon as "active" becomes false, and then we destruct the lock.

However, wakeup_thread sets "active" to false - and then calls the condition broadcast to wakeup any waiting threads. So there is a race condition between that broadcast and the lock destruct.

Add OPAL_ACQUIRE_OBJECT and OPAL_POST_OBJECT memory barriers to help protect against thread race conditions on some platforms
