pthread_cond_broadcast/4-1.c testcase from openposix testsuite (LTP)
occasionally fails, because some threads fail to wake up.
Testcase creates 5 threads, which are all waiting on same condition.
Main thread then calls pthread_cond_broadcast() without holding mutex,
which calls:
futex(uaddr1, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, uaddr2, ..)
This immediately wakes up single thread A, which unlocks mutex and
tries to wake up another thread:
futex(uaddr2, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1)
If thread A manages to call futex_wake() before any waiters are requeued
for uaddr2, no other thread is woken up.
This patch is re-introducing check removed by:
commit 11d4616bd07f38d496bd489ed8fad1dc4d928823
futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code
Taking hb->lock in this situation will ensure that thread A needs to wait
in futex_wake() until main thread finishes requeue operation.
