selftests: ublk: set CPU affinity before thread initialization

Move ublk_thread_set_sched_affinity() call before ublk_thread_init()
to ensure memory allocations during thread initialization occur on
the correct NUMA node. This leverages Linux's first-touch memory
policy for better NUMA locality.

Also convert ublk_thread_set_sched_affinity() to use
pthread_setaffinity_np() instead of sched_setaffinity(), as the
pthread API is the proper interface for setting thread affinity in
multithreaded programs.
