What
The UCX PML needs to differentiate between mpi serialized and single thread mode according to MPI standard.
Why
Using UCX with multiple threads, even when providing mutual exclusion, is not completely equivalent to only using UCX with one same thread.
To guarantee ordering and avoid corruption, some UCX transports need the cpu to flush stores to the devices, before another thread can progress the worker. For latency reasons, this needed flush is only performed in non single thread mode.
