api: mark api_trace_command_fn thread-safe

Binary API trace replay with multiple worker threads depends in many
cases on worker thread graph replica maintenance. If we (implicitly)
assert a worker thread barrier at the debug CLI level, all graph
replica changes are deferred until the replay operation completes. If
an interface is deleted, the wheels may fall off.

Type: fix
