Subject: [PATCH] Hurd: make sigstates hold a reference on thread ports

This change is required in order to correctly release per-thread
resources. Directly reusing the threading library reference isn't
possible since the sigstate is also used early in the main thread,
before threading is initialized.

* hurd/hurd/signal.h (_hurd_self_sigstate): Drop thread reference after
calling _hurd_thread_sigstate.
(_hurd_critical_section_lock): Likewise.
* hurd/hurdsig.c (_hurd_thread_sigstate): Add a reference on the thread.
(_hurd_sigstate_delete): Drop thread reference.
