bug#61058: [PATCH] Fix asymetric mutex locking when joining thread.

Subject: bug#61058: [PATCH] Fix asymetric mutex locking when joining thread.
Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2023 10:24:03 -0500

From: Olivier Dion <olivier-dion@proton.me>

If `join-thread' timeout, the thread mutex is not unlocked,
resulting in deadlock to the next call to it or deadlock of the
thread itself when it terminates.

Thus, always unlock the mutex.

Fix: #55356

* module/ice-9/threads.scm (join-thread): Always unlock thread mutex.
