Test to check if setting PROC_CN_MCAST_NOTIFY in proc connector API, allows
a thread's non-zero exit status to be returned to proc_filter.
The threads.c program creates 2 child threads. 1st thread handles signal
SIGSEGV, and 2nd thread needs to indicate some error condition (value 1)
to the kernel, instead of using pthread_exit() with 1.
In both cases, child sends notify_netlink_thread_exit(exit_code) to kernel,
to let kernel know it has exited abnormally with exit_code.
Compile:
make thread
make proc_filter
Run:
./threads
