pthread_once_t is initialized, a mutex is allocated, if we unload the
shared library or free those data block, then there is no way to deallocate
the mutex, result is memory leak.
To fix this problem, we don't use mutex field in pthread_once_t, instead,
we use its state field and an internal mutex and conditional variable in
libkse to do any synchronization, we introduce a third state IN_PROGRESS to

there are idle KSEs that could run the higher priority thread,
we still add the preemption point because it seems to take the
kernel a while to schedule an idle KSE. The drawbacks are that
threads will be swapped more often between CPUs (KSEs) and
that there will be an extra userland context switch (the idle
KSE is still woken and will probably resume the preempted
thread). We'll revisit this if and when idle CPU/KSE wakeup

by moving the definition of struct ksd to pthread_md.h and removing
the inclusion of ksd.h from thr_private.h (which has the definition
of struct kse and kse_critical_t). This allows ksd.h to have inline
functions that use struct kse and kse_critical_t and generally
yields a cleaner implementation at the cost of not having all ksd
related types/definitions in one header.
Implement the ksd functionality on ia64 by using inline functions
and permanently remove ksd.c from the ia64 specific makefile.
This change does not clean up the i386 specific version of ksd.h.
NOTE: The ksd code on ia64 abuses the tp register in the same way
as it is abused in libthr in that it is incompatible with the
runtime specification. This will be address when support for TLS
hits the tree.
