fix signal masking race in pthread_create with priority attributes

fix signal masking race in pthread_create with priority attributes

if the parent thread was able to set the new thread's priority before
it reached the check for 'startlock', the new thread failed to restore
its signal mask and thus ran with all signals blocked.

concept for patch by Sergei, who reported the issue; unnecessary
changes were removed and comments added since the whole 'startlock'
thing is non-idiomatic and confusing. eventually it should be replaced
with use of idiomatic synchronization primitives.
