  Remove vestiges of libthr's signal mangling past. This fixes that last
  known problem with mysql on libthr: not being able to kill mysqld.

  revision 1.31

  The SUSv3 function say that the affected functions MAY FAIL, if the
  specified mutex is invalid. In spec parlance 'MAY FAIL' means it's
  up to the implementor. So, remove the check for NULL pointers for two
  reasons:
          1. A mutex may be invalid without necessarily being NULL.
          2. If the pointer to the mutex is NULL core-dumping in the
             vicinity of the problem is much much much better than failing
             in some other part of the code (especially when the application
             doesn't check the return value of the function that you oh so
             helpfully set to EINVAL).
