On systems with more than 64 cpus, blas_quickdivide will sometimes return zero which creates bogus workloads when used for the stride calculation. This then leads to threads spinning incessantly waiting for a status change that never happens, as seen in #1497.
This patch also fixes several data races that were found by helgrind and/or tsan while debugging the issue.
When NUM_THREADS(MAX_CPU_NUNBERS) is very large ,e.g. 256.
typedef struct {
volatile BLASLONG working[MAX_CPU_NUMBER][CACHE_LINE_SIZE * DIVIDE_RATE];
} job_t;
job_t job[MAX_CPU_NUMBER];
The job array is equal 8MB.
Thus, We use malloc instead of stack allocation.
