Disable elision for any pthread_mutexattr_settype call
PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL requires deadlock for nesting, DEFAULT
does not. Since glibc uses the same value (0) disable elision
for any call to pthread_mutexattr_settype() with a 0 value.
This implies that a program can disable elision by doing
pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL)

Based on a original proposal by Rich Felker.
