Invalidation of synchronization mechanisms

The syntax of the functions that invalidate synchronization structures is even more regular than that of the initializing functions.

The syntax is:

   int sema_destroy(         sema_t         *sema);
   int _spin_destroy(        spin_t         *lock);
   int barrier_destroy(      barrier_t      *barrier);
   int _barrier_spin_destroy(barrier_spin_t *barrier);
   int cond_destroy(         cond_t         *cond);
   int mutex_destroy(        mutex_t        *mutex);
   int rmutex_destroy(       rmutex_t       *rmutex);
   int rwlock_destroy(       rwlock_t       *rwlock);
Each function can fail as follows:

EINVAL
Invalid argument specified.

EBUSY
Mechanism currently in use.
The effect of these functions is:
