// This static function is the only function that can actually delete a thread,

// It is private, because it is only called by the sched_yield() public function.
// It scan all threads attached to a given scheduler, and executes the relevant
// actions for two types of pending requests: 
//
// - REQ_ACK : it checks that target thread is blocked, decrements the response counter
//   to acknowledge the client thread, and reset the pending request. 
// - REQ_DELETE : it removes the target thread from the process th_tbl[], remove it
//   from the scheduler list, and release the memory allocated to thread descriptor.
//   For an user thread, it destroys the process descriptor it the target thread is
//   the last thread in the local process descriptor.
//
// Implementation note:
// We use a while to scan the threads in scheduler lists, because some threads can
// be destroyed, and we want not use a LIST_FOREACH()
