Fix use of __pthread_attr_copy in mq_notify (bug 27896) __pthread_attr_copy can fail and does not initialize the attribute structure in that case. If __pthread_attr_copy is never called and there is no allocated attribute, pthread_attr_destroy should not be called, otherwise there is a null pointer dereference in rt/tst-mqueue6. Fixes commit 42d359350510506b87101cf77202fefcbfc790cb ("Use __pthread_attr_copy in mq_notify (bug 27896)").
