Given how specialized (and of little actual use) those functions are, I
don't think it's much of a problem if they misbehave if you deliberately
pass an invalid thread id.

At least it sounds less of a problem than breaking all code that expects
a thread id to be an integer.

(btw, pthread_getcpuclockid returns ESRCH on Linux if called with an
invalid thread id)
