Assignment name: deadlock_demo
Expected files: deadlock_demo.c
Allowed functions: memset, printf, malloc, free, write, pthread_create, pthread_detach,
pthread_join, pthread_mutex_init, pthread_mutex_destroy, pthread_mutex_lock,
pthread_mutex_unlock, usleep, gettimeofday

Create a program that demonstrates deadlock and then shows how to solve it:
Part 1 - Deadlock:
2 threads, 2 mutexes (mutex_a, mutex_b)
- Thread 1: lock mutex_a → sleep 100ms → lock mutex_b → unlock both
- Thread 2: lock mutex_b → sleep 100ms → lock mutex_a → unlock both
Part 2 - Solution: Both threads lock the mutexes in the same order.
The program must accept an argument: 0 for deadlock, 1 for solution.
Usage: `./deadlock_demo 0` (demonstrates deadlock)
Usage: `./deadlock_demo 1` (demonstrates solution)
Hint: Deadlock is a real risk in Philosophers when philosophers try to grab forks in different orders.
The most common solution is to order the resources (forks with lower IDs first).
