unix/mpthreadport: Remove busy wait loop in thread garbage collection.
One can't use pthread calls in a signal handler because they are not
async-signal-safe (see man signal-safety). Instead, sem_post can be used
to post from within a signal handler and this should be more efficient than
using a busy wait loop, waiting on a volatile variable.
