This patch lets pthread_kill behave more robustly when handed invalid thread

No way. And your understanding of the POSIX discussions are wrong.
There is no requirement to do the dirty job of the application and
detect invalid thread IDs. If we can determine an ID is wrong we could
return ESRCH. But we cannot and therefore we won't do any testing.
