beam_lib: Handle rare race in the crypto key server functionality
In rare circumstances, there can be a race when the crypto key server
is started by beam_lib:crypto_key_fun/1 shortly after stopping it
using beam_lib:clear_crypto_key_fun/0. The race occurs because
the crypto key server first sends back the reply to the calling
process, then terminates. (The race is probably more likely to happen
on CPUs with hyper threading.)
