Volker Lendecke e84521dc44 lib: Fix a pthreadpool race condition
Yes, there is one.... I've seen two flaky builds on sn-devel with
pthreadpool after the coverity checks went in. They were in the

		ret = pthread_mutex_unlock(&pool->mutex);
		assert(ret == 0);

in pthreadpool_parent() and pthreadpool_child(). No idea what that was,
I could not really reproduce that. A build attempt on FreeBSD also gave
an erratic error, this time it was an EINVAL in

		ret = pthread_mutex_lock(&pool->mutex);
		assert(ret == 0);

pthreadpool_parent(). EINVAL means that the mutex is not a proper
mutex. What happened: Someone (a detached thread) does the
pthreadpool_free behind our back, while we are in pthreadpool_parent,
preparing the fork. Unfortunately the mutex was already destroyed before
we came to lock it.

The fix is simple: Remove the obsolete struct pthreadpool from the
linked list before the mutex is destroyed.
