In current code, (info->periodic.timer_fd == 0) means it is not
valid, as:
if (info->periodic.timer_fd) {
close(info->periodic.timer_fd);
...
We need set its value from -1 to 0 in create-fail case, to make
code like above works.

task_period_stop() is used to close a timer explicitly, to avoid
the timer handle closed again by task_stop(), we should reset its
value after close.
Also add value-reset for info->id for safe.

The timer handle have possibility in using by sub thread,
better to close it after sub process exit.

Reason is complex:
1: main thread allocated a block of memory,
shared with sub thread
2: main thread killed sub thread, and free above memory
3: main thread malloc a new one(in same address),
and use it
4: sub thread(which is not really quit), write into
this address, and caused this bug.
By adding some debug lines into code, we can see following output:
create btrfs filesystem:
blocksize: 4096
nodesize: 16384
features: extref, skinny-metadata (default)
creating btrfs metadata.

Conclusion:
a: subthread should exit before step 5, but it is still running
in step 11
b: task_stop() hadn't close periodic.timer_fd in step3,
because periodic.timer_fd is not initialized yet.
c. address of 0xc65b80 is overwrited by subthread in step 11,
but this address is freed and re-malloc by main thread
before step 10, and used for trans->transid.
d: trans->transid which is overwrite by subthread caused error
in step 13.
Fix:
pthread_cancel() only send a cancellation request to the thread,
thread will quit in next cancellation point by default.
To make sub thread quit in time, this patch add pthread_join()
after pthread_cancel() call.
And to make pthread_join() works, pthread_detach() is removed.
