 * Function:  pthread_join
 *
 * Description:
 *    A thread can await termination of another thread and
 *    retrieve the return value of the thread.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   thread
 *   pexit_value
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   0 if successful.  Otherwise, one of the following error codes:
 *       EINVAL  The value specified by thread does not refer to a
 *               joinable thread.
 *       ESRCH   No thread could be found corresponding to that
 *               specified by the given thread ID.
 *       EDEADLK A deadlock was detected or the value of thread
 *               specifies the calling thread.
 *
 * Assumptions:
