fix race condition in file locking
The condition occurs when - thread #1 is holding the lock - thread #2 is waiting for it on __futexwait - thread #1 is about to release the lock and performs a_swap - thread #3 enters the __lockfile function and manages to grab the lock before thread #1 calls __wake, resetting the MAYBE_WAITERS flag - thread #1 calls __wake - thread #2 wakes up but goes again to __futexwait as the lock is held by thread #3 - thread #3 releases the lock but does not call __wake as the MAYBE_WAITERS flag is not set This condition results in thread #2 not being woken up. This patch fixes the problem by making the woken up thread ensure that the flag is properly set before going to sleep again. Mainainer's note: This fixes a regression introduced in commit c21f750727515602a9e84f2a190ee8a0a2aeb2a1.
