This had a possible deadlock that was visible with rcutorture.
qemu_event_set qemu_event_wait
----------------------------------------------------------------
cmpxchg reads FREE, writes BUSY
futex_wait: pthread_mutex_lock
futex_wait: value == BUSY
xchg reads BUSY, writes SET
futex_wake: pthread_cond_broadcast
futex_wait: pthread_cond_wait
<deadlock>
The fix is simply to avoid condvar tricks and do the obvious locking
around pthread_cond_broadcast:
qemu_event_set qemu_event_wait
----------------------------------------------------------------
cmpxchg reads FREE, writes BUSY
futex_wait: pthread_mutex_lock
futex_wait: value == BUSY
xchg reads BUSY, writes SET
futex_wake: pthread_mutex_lock
(blocks)
futex_wait: pthread_cond_wait
(mutex unlocked)
futex_wake: pthread_cond_broadcast
futex_wake: pthread_mutex_unlock
futex_wait: pthread_mutex_unlock

Destructors are the main additional feature of pthread TLS compared
to __thread. If we were using C++ (hint, hint!) we could have used
thread-local objects with a destructor. Since we are not, instead,
we add a simple Notifier-based API.
Note that the notifier must be per-thread as well. We can add a
global list as well later, perhaps.
The Win32 implementation has some complications because a) detached
threads used not to have a QemuThreadData; b) the main thread does
not go through win32_start_routine, so we have to use atexit too.

This emulates Win32 manual-reset events using futexes or conditional
variables. Typical ways to use them are with multi-producer,
single-consumer data structures, to test for a complex condition whose
elements come from different threads:
for (;;) {
qemu_event_reset(ev);
... test complex condition ...
if (condition is true) {
break;
}
qemu_event_wait(ev);
}
Or more efficiently (but with some duplication):
... evaluate condition ...
while (!condition) {
qemu_event_reset(ev);
... evaluate condition ...
if (!condition) {
qemu_event_wait(ev);
... evaluate condition ...
}
}
QemuEvent provides a very fast userspace path in the common case when
no other thread is waiting, or the event is not changing state.

Fix following bugs in "fallback implementation of counting semaphores
with mutex+condvar" added in c166cb72f1676855816340666c3b618beef4b976:
- waiting threads are not restarted properly if more than one threads
are waiting unblock signals in qemu_sem_timedwait()
- possible missing pthread_cond_signal(3) calls when waiting threads
are returned by ETIMEDOUT
- fix an uninitialized variable
The problem is analyzed by and fix is provided by Noriyuki Soda.
Also put additional cleanup suggested by Laszlo Ersek:
- make QemuSemaphore.count unsigned (it won't be negative)
- check a return value of in pthread_cond_wait() in qemu_sem_wait()
