 * Name: task_delete
 *
 * Description:
 *   This function causes a specified task to cease to exist.  Its stack and
 *   TCB will be deallocated.  This function is the companion to
 *   task_create().  This is the version of the function exposed to the
 *   user; it is simply a wrapper around the internal, nxtask_terminate
 *   function.
 *
 *   The logic in this function only deletes non-running tasks.  If the
 *   'pid' parameter refers to the currently running task, then processing
 *   is redirected to exit().  This can only happen if a task calls
 *   task_delete()in order to delete itself.
 *
 *   This function obeys the semantics of pthread cancellation:  task
 *   deletion is deferred if cancellation is disabled or if deferred
 *   cancellation is supported (with cancellation points enabled).
 *
 * 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 with the errno variable set
 *   appropriately.
 *
