MINOR: task: add thread safe notification_new and notification_wake variants

notification_new and notification_wake were historically meant to be
called by a single thread doing both the init and the wakeup for other
tasks waiting on the signals.

In this patch, we extend the API so that notification_new and
notification_wake have thread-safe variants that can safely be used with
multiple threads registering on the same list of events and multiple
threads pushing updates on the list.
