Brian Behlendorf 6fe1e37a5e Additional pthread related fixes for ztest
There are 3 fixes in thie commit.  First, update ztest_run() to store
the thread id and not the address of the kthread_t.  This will be freed
on thread exit and is not safe to use.  This is pretty close to how
things were done in the original ztest code before I got there.

Second, for extra paranoia update thread_exit() to return a special
TS_MAGIC value via pthread_exit().  This value is then verified in
pthread_join() to ensure the thread exited cleanly.  This can be
done cleanly because the kthread doesn't provide a return code
mechanism we need to worry about.

Third, replace the ztest deadman thread with a signal handler.  We
cannot use the previous approach because the correct behavior for
pthreads is to wait for all threads to exit before terminating the
process.  Since the deadman thread won't call exit by design we
end up hanging in kernel_exit().  To avoid this we just setup a
SIGALRM signal handle and register a deadman alarm.  IMHO this
is simpler and cleaner anyway.
