i made a best attempt, but the intended semantics of this function are
fundamentally contradictory. there is no consistent way to handle
ownership of locks when forking a multi-threaded process. the code
could have worked by accident for programs that only used normal
mutexes and nothing else (since they don't actually store or care
about their owner), but that's about it. broken-by-design interfaces
that aren't even in glibc (only solaris) don't belong in musl.
