transceiver, uhd: dynamically allocate async event thread
Similar to the previous commit titled,
"multi-arfcn, trx: allocate threads on heap and fix thread release"
there is the potential for a segfault on exit if the event thread
is never started. As before, address the issue by initializing
the Thread pointer with NULL and later allocating the object
immediately prior to use.
On stop or exit, allow the thread to exit by checking a condition
variable. If device is stopped or never started, the same variable
can be checked for state, which avoids attempts to deallocate an
empty pointer.
If there is a better method to shutdown / deallocate using the
OpenBTS thread library, please let me know.
