pthread's and semaphore's default behavior is to use CLOCK_REALTIME,
however this behavior is essentially never intended, as that clock is
prone to change discontinuously.
What users really intend is to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC, however only
pthread_cond_timedwait() provides this as an option and even there, a
large amount of existing code does not opt into CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
We have seen numerous bugs directly attributable to this difference.
Therefore, we provide this general workaround to always use
CLOCK_MONOTONIC for waiting, regardless of what the input timespec
is.
Specifically this impacts the below APIs:
pthread_mutex_timedlock()
pthread_cond_timedwait()
pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock()
pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock()
sem_timedwait()
Test: boot bullhead, boot sailfish
Test: bionic pthread/semaphore unit tests
Test: check that pthread_cond_timedwait() timeouts are uneffected by
CLOCK_REALTIME time changes

This function only exists for backwards compatibility, so leave it as it was.

It actually means "crash immediately". Well, it's an error. And callers are
much more likely to realize their mistake if we crash immediately rather
than return EINVAL. Historically, glibc has crashed and bionic -- before
the recent changes -- returned EINVAL, so this is a behavior change.
