The NCI test collects the exit status of its helper threads by passing
the address of an int to pthread_join():
int status;
...
pthread_join(thread_t, (void **) &status);
pthread_join() stores a void pointer to the memory location. On 64-bit
systems, a void pointer is wider than an int, so the store overruns the
4 bytes of space allocated on the stack for the integer and corrupts the
adjacent stack. On our CHERI system, this caused a fault due to a
capability bounds violation.
Fix this by introducing a helper that joins a thread through a void
pointer and converts the result back to an integer, which is what the
helper threads return.
While here, also fix the logic in disconnect_tag() if the helper thread
creation failed. Previously, it would have joined a thread that was
never created when pthread_create() failed.
