Fix the race condition by introducing a stall. Brought down the semaphore_post right before the stall as this is supposed to have no functional change. Since you cannot write to the address which is currently being used by the unpacker since there is a wait_for_next_context(2) right above it. Context can start from 0, then go to 1 and then come back to 0 and reach the MMIO writes when wait_for_next_context(2) passes, and that happens when the code that was previously working in context 0 has finished. Same argument for context 1.
