[PATCH] Fix pthread_getattr_np


Hi!

My reading of pthread_getattr_np is that following code will crash:
pthread_attr_t attr;
memset (&attr, 0xaa, sizeof (attr));  // Stress that attr is uninitialized
if (pthread_getattr_np (pthread_self (), &attr) == 0)
  pthread_attr_destroy (&attr);
if sched_getaffinity returns ENOSYS.
One way to fix this is below, another would be e.g. to clear whole
pthread_attr_t at the start of pthread_getattr_np.  That could cure even
crashes on invalid careless code like e.g. boehm-gc does:
  my_pthread = pthread_self();
  pthread_getattr_np (my_pthread, &attr);
  pthread_attr_getstack (&attr, (void **) &stack_addr, &stack_size);
  pthread_attr_destroy (&attr);
(which has to be fixed anyway).

	* pthread_getattr_np.c (pthread_getattr_np): Clear cpuset and
	cpusetsize if pthread_getaffinity_np failed with ENOSYS.
