This change looks questionable.

Inside external/bsd/jemalloc/lib/../dist/src/mutex.c:

        pthread_mutexattr_t attr;

        if (pthread_mutexattr_init(&attr) != 0) {
                return true;

        }
        pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, MALLOC_MUTEX_TYPE);
        if (pthread_mutex_init(&mutex->lock, &attr) != 0) {
                pthread_mutexattr_destroy(&attr);
                return true;
        }
        pthread_mutexattr_destroy(&attr);


We initialize attr with garbage as we use libc stubs and later pass
garbage to pthread_mutex_init().

I want to add this sanity check inside pthread_mutex_init()

http://netbsd.org/~kamil/patch-00218-pthread_mutex_init-check-attr.txt

Unfortunately this causes jemalloc to deadlock.

Could we please fix it properly?

I am not sure what is the proper way here. We probably need to delay
usage of pthread(3).... but it is not that trivial.

Personally, I preferred the old jemalloc...
