robust mutexes: Fix broken x86 assembly by removing it
lll_robust_unlock on i386 and x86_64 first sets the futex word to FUTEX_WAITERS|0 before calling __lll_unlock_wake, which will set the futex word to 0. If the thread is killed between these steps, then the futex word will be FUTEX_WAITERS|0, and the kernel (at least current upstream) will not set it to FUTEX_OWNER_DIED|FUTEX_WAITERS because 0 is not equal to the TID of the crashed thread. The lll_robust_lock assembly code on i386 and x86_64 is not prepared to deal with this case because the fastpath tries to only CAS 0 to TID and not FUTEX_WAITERS|0 to TID; the slowpath simply waits until it can CAS 0 to TID or the futex_word has the FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit set. This issue is fixed by removing the custom x86 assembly code and using the generic C code instead. However, instead of adding more duplicate code to the custom x86 lowlevellock.h, the code of the lll_robust* functions is inlined into the single call sites that exist for each of these functions in the pthread_mutex_* functions. The robust mutex paths in the latter have been slightly reorganized to make them simpler. This patch is meant to be easy to backport, so C11-style atomics are not used.
