Subject: [PATCH liburing v1 0/2] 2 fixes for recv-msgall.c

Hi Jens,

This is the follow up patchset for the recent issue found in
recv-msgall.c. There are two patches in this series.

1. Fix undefined behavior in `recv_prep()`.
The lifetime of `struct msghdr msg;` must be long enough until the CQE
is generated because the recvmsg operation will write to that storage. I
found this test segfault when compiling with -O0 optimization. This is
undefined behavior and may behave randomly. Fix this by making the
lifetime of `struct msghdr msg;` long enough.

2. Fix invalid mutex usage.
Calling pthread_mutex_lock() twice with the same mutex in the same
thread without unlocking it first is invalid. The intention behind this
pattern was to wait for the recv_fn() thread to be ready. Use the
pthread barrier instead. It is more straightforward and correct.

Please apply!
