[LTP] [PATCH v1] OpenPOSIX: Allow 0 return value when detaching or joining joined thread

[LTP] [PATCH v1] OpenPOSIX: Allow 0 return value when detaching or joining joined thread

[Wei Gao via ltp]

Latest test in our openqa setup (Linux 7.1-rc2, Glibc 2.43) show following errors:
- pthread_detach_4-2: Test FAILED: Incorrect return code: 0 instead of ESRCH
- pthread_join_6-2: Test FAILED: Return code should be ESRCH, but is: 0 instead.

These are caused by glibc commit 5da15b15adab661c80e373b6af89be0b5fa5b3ad
("nptl: Do not use pthread set_tid_address as state synchronization (BZ #19951)").

The new glibc logic removed the explicit validation of thread handles that
previously returned ESRCH:

--- a/nptl/pthread_detach.c
-  if (INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P (pd))
-    return ESRCH;

--- a/nptl/pthread_join_common.c
-  if (INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P (pd))
-    return ESRCH;
-

Update the tests to allow both return codes.

The motivation is clear and the fix looks correct — accepting 0 in addition
to ESRCH matches the new glibc behavior.

Everything that is after --- is threated as a patch comment
by the `git am` command, as well as b4. So after applying the
patch, agent correct seen SOB tag missing nad reported it in
the review.

I will remove this comment in the patch before merge.

Technically since this is open posix testsuite we should PTS_UNTESTED on
0 since we were not able to trigger the error since the implementation
does not implement the optional behavior.

Something as:
