Fix bug that SIGCHLD is erroneously blocked forever in the following
scenario:
1. Thread A calls system but hasn't returned yet
2. Thread B calls another system but returns
SIGCHLD would be blocked forever in thread B after its system() returns,
even after the system() in thread A returns.
Although POSIX does not require, glibc system implementation aims to be
thread and cancellation safe. This bug was introduced in
5fb7fc9635 when we moved reverting signal
mask to happen when the last concurrently running system returns,
despite that signal mask is per thread. This commit reverts this logic
and adds a test.

(cherry picked from commit 436a604b7d)
POSIX states that system returned code for failure to execute the shell
shall be as if the shell had terminated using _exit(127). This
behaviour was removed with 5fb7fc9635.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
