I've cherry-picked race-condition fixes from hypre 2.16.0,

https://github.com/hypre-space/hypre/commit/b99fe7719c56073ea77d5c5400ef35229bf6b3ab
https://github.com/hypre-space/hypre/commit/97cd175d5470dc81fa47e84f85e4afd2db3ef483

97cd175 also had memory fixes (BigInt) which did not apply cleanly. So 
I've removed those parts of the patch (in debian patch  
fix_race_condition_97cd175.patch)

I've uploaded the 2 patches as hypre 2.15.1-5

They build and pass tests.  We'll need to run a barrage of tests to see 
if they fixing the intermittent test failures.

If it doesn't help, the next option is to take the full transition to 
hypre 2.16.0.
