As per my understading, the lock does not need to be hold while pthread_cond_signal() is called.
From posix specification:
"The pthread_cond_signal() or pthread_cond_broadcast() functions may be called by a thread whether or not it currently owns the mutex..."
Reference: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/pthread_cond_signal.html
I am fine with the rest of the changes.
