Subject: Protect pthreads' mutexes against use-after-destroy

Ohai,

as discussed on irc, Android's bionic has a check to prevent
use-after-destroy on phtread mutexes
(https://github.com/LineageOS/android_bionic/blob/e0aac7df6f58138dae903b5d456c947a3f8092ea/libc/bionic/pthread_mutex.cpp#L803),
and musl doesn't.

While odds are that this is a super-duper common bug, it would still be
nice to have this kind of protection, since it's cheap, and would
prevent/make it easy to diagnose weird states.

Is this something that should/could be implemented?
