Add volatile qualifier to boolean variable
DHCP receive thread was spinning on a boolean variable to know when to
stop. That variable had no volatile qualifier, potentially preventing
the thread from stopping at all. Without a volatile qualifier, the reads
and writes in halt() could be reordered in such a way that the running
thread is interrupted before mStopped is set t true. Also, the optimizer
could decide to hoist mStopped in a register inside the running thread,
preventing the loop from exiting.
