librt: fix NULL pointer dereference (bug 28213)
Helper thread frees copied attribute on NOTIFY_REMOVED message received from the OS kernel. Unfortunately, it fails to check whether copied attribute actually exists (data.attr != NULL). This worked earlier because free() checks passed pointer before actually attempting to release corresponding memory. But __pthread_attr_destroy assumes pointer is not NULL. So passing NULL pointer to __pthread_attr_destroy will result in segmentation fault. This scenario is possible if notification->sigev_notify_attributes == NULL (which means default thread attributes should be used).
