Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] pthread: add missing memory barrier

POSIX requires pthread_join to synchronize memory on success.  The
futex wait inside __timedwait_cp cannot handle this because it's not
called in all cases.  Also, in the case of a spurious wake, tid can
become zero between the wake and when the joining thread checks it.
