Subject: [PATCH] multipathd: add code to initalize unwinder

glibc's implementation of pthread_cancel() loads symbols from
libgcc_s.so using dlopen() when pthread_cancel() is called
for the first time. This happens even with LD_BIND_NOW=1.
This may imply the need for file system access when a thread is
cancelled, which in the case of multipath-tools might be in a
dangerous situation where multipathd must avoid blocking.

Call load_unwinder() during startup to make sure the dynamic
linker has all necessary symbols resolved early on.

This implementation simply creates a dummy thread and cancels
it. This way all necessary symbols for thread cancellation
will be loaded, no matter what the C library needs to implement
cancellation.
