fix static variable client access vialotion in DamonConfigLoader (#965)

Summary:
As discussed in pytorch issue [#129626](pytorch/pytorch#129626) , `updateThread` of `Config` will keep on accessing `client` after main thread quits.  But when main thread quits,  `client` will be destructed.  Functions in `updateThread` may use a dangling pointer of `client`, which will cause invalid memory access, and finally, `Segment fault` occurs, a core file will be generated, which  doesn't behave as expected.
