When RunnerMessage::Switch is called frequently, start_scheduler could encounter a race condition issue, where more than one tokio async task would start the same time, messing with the child_id state.
To resolve this issue, the JoinHandle got in start_scheduler is recorded, and instead of using child_id to send SIGINT, a cancellation token from tokio-util is used, and stop_scheduler uses it to inform the async task to kill its child. And we could ensure that only one task is managing spawned scheduler process.
