Why are we here:
1) there is a memory leak
2) I fix the memory and trigger a use after free
3) I invent a reference count checker, use it to fix the memory leak,
use after free and missing locks - the patch for this in 10s of lines
long
4) when adding the lock fixes I defensively add error checking to the
mutex involved - mainly because I was scared I could introduce a
deadlock
5) I get asked to generalize this
6) GSoC contributor picks up and puts this down
7) I pull together the contributor's work
8) I get asked to turn a search and replace 4 patch fix into an unwieldy patch
9) I worry about the sanity of the change and add lock checking from clang
10) I end up trying to fix perf-sched who for some reason thought it
was perfectly valid to have threads blocked on mutexes that were
deallocated on the stack.
11) the UI code was written with a view that exiting something not
setup somehow made sense

I am drawing a line at fixing perf sched and the UI code. We can drop
this patch and keep things as a pthread_mutex_t, similarly for
perf-sched. I have gone about as far as I'm prepared to for the sake
of a 10s of line memory leak fix. Some private thoughts are, it would
be useful if review comments could be constructive, hey do this not
that, and not simply commenting on change or trying to shoehorn vast
amounts of tech debt clean up onto simple fixes.

Thanks,
Ian
