Sort for better packing: Semaphore, double, pointer.

[Robert Sesek, 2015/12/23 19:22:32]

Done.

Can we retain the comment we had before?

  // TODO(mark): Use a condition variable instead?

[Robert Sesek, 2015/12/23 19:22:31]

Done.

DCHECK(!running_); ?

[Robert Sesek, 2015/12/23 19:22:31]

Done, but Thread::~Thread also DCHECKs this.
