 * Name: pthread_argsetup
 *
 * Description:
 *   This functions sets up parameters in the Task Control
 *   Block (TCB) in preparation for starting a new thread.
 *
 *   pthread_argsetup() is called from task_init() and task_start()
 *   to create a new task (with arguments cloned via strdup)
 *   or pthread_create() which has one argument passed by
 *   value (distinguished by the pthread boolean argument).
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   tcb        - Address of the new task's TCB
 *   name       - Name of the new task (not used)
 *   argv       - A pointer to an array of input parameters.
 *                Up to CONFIG_MAX_TASK_ARG parameters may be
 *                provided. If fewer than CONFIG_MAX_TASK_ARG
 *                parameters are passed, the list should be
 *                terminated with a NULL argv[] value.
 *                If no parameters are required, argv may be NULL.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *  OK
