Root cause:
This is due to race condition between main thread & keepalive thread during clean-up.

This happens when the keepalive thread is processing a wake signal owning the mutex, when meanwhile the main thread tries to stop the keepalives thread.

In main thread, the keepalive thread’s running bit (fpt->running) is set to false, without taking the mutex & then it blocks on mutex.
Meanwhile, keepalive thread which owns the mutex sees that the running bit is false & executes bgp_keepalives_finish() which also frees up mutex.
Main thread that is waiting on mutex with pthread_mutex_lock() will cause core while trying to access mutex.

Fix:
Take the lock in main thread while setting the fpt->running to false.
