test-run-tests: stabilize the test (issue5735)

Previously there is a race condition because things happen in this order:

  1. Check shouldStop
  2. If shouldStop is false, print the diff
  3. Call fail() -> set shouldStop

The check and set should really happen in a same critical section.

This patch adds a lock to address the issue.

Test Plan:
Run `run-tests.py -l test-run-tests.t` 20 times on gcc112 and the race
condition does not reproduce.
