0d0c2f4034 fix deadlock race in pthread_once
at the end of successful pthread_once, there was a race window during
which another thread calling pthread_once would momentarily change the
state back from 2 (finished) to 1 (in-progress). in this case, the
status was immediately changed back, but with no wake call, meaning
that waiters which arrived during this short window could block
forever. there are two possible fixes. one would be adding the wake to
the code path where it was missing. but it's better just to avoid
reverting the status at all, by using compare-and-swap instead of
swap.

7e6be42a77 fix major breakage in pthread_once (it was always deadlocking)
the issue was a break statement that was breaking only from the
switch, not the enclosing for loop, and a failure to set the final
success state.
