libcamera: thread: Fix locking when moving object
When moving an Object to a Thread, messages posted for the object are
move to the target thread's message queue. This requires locking the
message queues of the current and target threads, as the target thread
may (and is usually) running. The implementation is faulty as it locks
the thread data instead of the message queue. This creates a race
condition with a tiny but exploitable time window.
The issue was noticed by the event-thread test rarely but reproducibly
failing with the following assertion error:
[1:39:33.850878042]FATAL default thread.cpp:440 assertion "data_ == receiver->thread()->data_" failed
The issue only occurred when libcamera was compiled in release mode,
further hinting of a race condition.
Fixes: 01b930964acd ("libcamera: thread: Add a messaging passing API")
