/* This is similar to a lock implementation, but we distinguish between three

   (__fork_generation | __PTHREAD_ONCE_INPROGRESS), and initialization
   finished (__PTHREAD_ONCE_DONE); __fork_generation does not use the bits
   that are used for __PTHREAD_ONCE_INPROGRESS and __PTHREAD_ONCE_DONE (which
   is what __PTHREAD_ONCE_FORK_GEN_INCR is used for).  If in the first state,
   threads will try to run the initialization by moving to the second state;
   the first thread to do so via a CAS on once_control runs init_routine,
   other threads block.
   When forking the process, some threads can be interrupted during the second
   state; they won't be present in the forked child, so we need to restart
   initialization in the child.  To distinguish an in-progress initialization
   from an interrupted initialization (in which case we need to reclaim the
   lock), we look at the fork generation that's part of the second state: We
   can reclaim iff it differs from the current fork generation.
   XXX: This algorithm has an ABA issue on the fork generation: If an
   initialization is interrupted, we then fork 2^30 times (30 bits of
   once_control are used for the fork generation), and try to initialize
   again, we can deadlock because we can't distinguish the in-progress and
   interrupted cases anymore.
   XXX: We split out this slow path because current compilers do not generate
   as efficient code when the fast path in __pthread_once below is not in a
   separate function.  */
