[FFmpeg-cvslog] pthread_frame: do not attempt to unlock a mutex on the wrong thread

[wm4]

ffmpeg | branch: master | wm4 <nfxjfg at googlemail.com> | Thu Mar 23 13:18:16 2017 +0100| [9e703ae30f911d4df3f80647266e65d3b2dcf30d] | committer: wm4

pthread_frame: do not attempt to unlock a mutex on the wrong thread

async_mutex has is used in a very strange but intentional way: it is
locked by default, and unlocked only in regions that can be run
concurrently.

If the user was calling API functions to the same context from different
threads (in a safe way), this could unintentionally unlock the mutex on
a different thread than the previous lock operation. It's not allowed by
the pthread API.

Fix this by emulating a binary semaphore using a mutex and condition
variable. (Posix semaphores are not available on all platforms.)
