fix use of uninitialized memory with application-provided thread stacks
the subsequent code in pthread_create and the code which copies TLS initialization images to the new thread's TLS space assume that the memory provided to them is zero-initialized, which is true when it's obtained by pthread_create using mmap. however, when the caller provides a stack using pthread_attr_setstack, pthread_create cannot make any assumptions about the contents. simply zero-filling the relevant memory in this case is the simplest and safest fix.
