Fix thread destruction
Releasing a thread reference uses a mutex, which means the kernel resources used for synchronization must be available until late during the destruction process. For simplicity, merge __pthread_thread_dealloc into __pthread_thread_terminate. * Makefile (libpthread-routines): Remove pt-thread-dealloc. * pthread/pt-create.c (__pthread_create_internal): Remove call to __pthread_thread_dealloc. * pthread/pt-exit.c (__pthread_exit): Likewise. * pthread/pt-internal.h (__pthread_thread_dealloc): Remove declaration. (__pthread_thread_terminate): Update description. * sysdeps/mach/pt-thread-dealloc.c: Remove file. * sysdeps/mach/pt-thread-terminate.c (__pthread_thread_terminate): Destroy the wake up port.
