My 2 cents, When the termination signal is sent to the thread either synchronously or asynchronously , you just have a mechanism in place that if that thread is in critical section , it exits from there and and unlocks the mutex at point of exit. This can be done by associating a tokken with the thread that it is executing in critical section and what mutex it locked. O we can do this by making some table in Process control block.
