 * Name: nxtask_terminate
 *
 * Description:
 *   This function causes a specified task to cease to exist.  Its stack and
 *   TCB will be deallocated.  This function is the internal implementation
 *   of the task_delete() function.  It includes and additional parameter
 *   to determine if blocking is permitted or not.
 *
 *   This function is the final function called all task termination
 *   sequences.  nxtask_terminate() is called only from task_delete() and
 *   from nxtask_exit().
 *
 *   The path through nxtask_exit() supports the final stops of the exit(),
 *   _exit(), and pthread_exit
 *
 *   - pthread_exit().  Calls _exit()
 *   - exit(). Calls _exit()
 *   - _exit().  Calls nxtask_exit() making the currently running task
 *     non-running. nxtask_exit then calls nxtask_terminate() to terminate
 *     the non-running task.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   pid - The task ID of the task to delete.  A pid of zero
 *         signifies the calling task.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   OK on success; or ERROR on failure
 *
 *   This function can fail if the provided pid does not correspond to a
 *   task (errno is not set)
 *
