[PATCH v2 0/3] nptl: Fix robust mutex support detection and defer robust list initialization

[Adhemerval Zanella]

qemu-user does not implement the set_robust_list syscall for any
architecture [1].  On architectures without __ASSUME_SET_ROBUST_LIST
(e.g. riscv64), glibc probes the syscall at startup and correctly
propagates the failure: pthread_mutex_init returns ENOTSUP for
process-shared robust mutexes.  On architectures with
__ASSUME_SET_ROBUST_LIST (e.g. x86_64, aarch64), the runtime probe is
skipped entirely, so the missing syscall goes undetected and
pthread_mutex_init silently returns success (BZ 33225).

The fix removes __ASSUME_SET_ROBUST_LIST and always probes for
set_robust_list availability at runtime.  As an additional improvement,
the probe is moved out of process/thread startup and deferred to the
first actual robust mutex operation (pthread_mutex_init for
process-shared+robust, or the first lock of any robust mutex).  This
avoids the syscall altogether for programs that never use robust mutexes.
