Series [v2,1/8] nptl: Move Linux pthread_kill to nptl | expand

Commit Message

Changes from previous version:

  * Move __libc_signal_block_all prior TID read.

--

Simiar to raise (BZ #15368), pthread_kill is also defined as
async-signal-safe (POSIX.1-2008 TC1).  However, similar to raise
it has the same issues relating to signal handling.

Different than raise, all the signal are blocked so it would be
possible to implement pthread_cancel (which also should be
async-cancel safe).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
