librt: fix NULL pointer dereference (bug 28213)
Helper thread frees copied attribute on NOTIFY_REMOVED message
received from the OS kernel. Unfortunately, it fails to check whether
copied attribute actually exists (data.attr != NULL). This worked
earlier because free() checks passed pointer before actually
attempting to release corresponding memory. But
__pthread_attr_destroy assumes pointer is not NULL.
So passing NULL pointer to __pthread_attr_destroy will result in
segmentation fault. This scenario is possible if
notification->sigev_notify_attributes == NULL (which means default
thread attributes should be used).
