__pthread_attr_copy can fail and does not initialize the attribute
structure in that case.

If __pthread_attr_copy is never called and there is no allocated
attribute, pthread_attr_destroy should not be called, otherwise
there is a null pointer dereference in rt/tst-mqueue6.

Fixes commit 42d359350510506b87101cf77202fefcbfc790cb
("Use __pthread_attr_copy in mq_notify (bug 27896)").

(cherry picked from commit 217b6dc298156bdb0d6aea9ea93e7e394a5ff091)
