fix robust mutex unrecoverable status, and related clean-up
a robust mutex should not enter the unrecoverable status until it's unlocked without marking it consistent. previously, flag 8 in the type was used as an indication of unrecoverable, but only honored after successful locking; this resulted in a race window where the unrecoverable mutex could appear to a second thread as locked/busy again while the first thread was in the process of observing it as unrecoverable. now, flag 8 is used to mean that the mutex is in the process of being recovered, but not yet marked consistent. the flag only takes effect in pthread_mutex_unlock, where it causes the value 0x40000000 (owner dead flag, with old owner tid 0, an otherwise impossible state) to be stored in the lock. subsequent lock attempts will interpret this state as unrecoverable.
