src: fix race on process exit and off thread CA loading

legendecas · richardlau · commit e9a685bc3dfb · 2025-09-20T06:16:31.000Z
When calling `process.exit()` or on uncaught exceptions as soon as the process starts, the process will try to terminate immediately. In this case, there could be a race condition on the unfinished off-thread system CA loader which tries to access the OpenSSL API which has been de-inited on the main thread.
