robust futex thread exit race

Browse Source 
Calling handle_futex_death in exit_robust_list for the different robust
mutexes of a thread basically frees the mutex.  Another thread might grab
the lock immediately which updates the next pointer of the mutex.
fetch_robust_entry over the next pointer might therefore branch into the
robust mutex list of a different thread.  This can cause two problems: 1)
some mutexes held by the dead thread are not getting freed and 2) some
mutexs held by a different thread are freed.

The next point need to be read before calling handle_futex_death.
