High level:

Refactoring common code like this is a good idea.

Design:

Moving everything into __pthread_timedjoin_ex and using a bool for
blocking seems like a good refactoring, anything less would duplicate
code again.

I like the removal of the EINVAL checks in the lowlevellock.h code
which harmonizes this more with all the arches.

Implementation:

We have started using pthread_cond_common.c, pthread_rwlock_common.c,
and I'd like to see us use pthread_join_common.c for the common file
with all others including it. This might sound like bike-shedding, but
it helps one quickly determine where the common code lies. New developers
will thank us for the logical choices like this.

OK with rework of pthread_join_common.c.
