pthread_once_t is initialized, a mutex is allocated, if we unload the
shared library or free those data block, then there is no way to deallocate
the mutex, result is memory leak.
To fix this problem, we don't use mutex field in pthread_once_t, instead,
we use its state field and an internal mutex and conditional variable in
libkse to do any synchronization, we introduce a third state IN_PROGRESS to
wait if another thread is already in invoking init_routine().
