I try to understand this patch (commit 5ffb7c7750) because I use condition
variable in an extension. One particular problem occured to me, please
consider:

ConditionVariableSleep() gets interrupted, so AbortTransaction() calls
ConditionVariableCancelSleep(), but the signal was sent in between. Shouldn't
at least AbortTransaction() and AbortSubTransaction() check the return value
of ConditionVariableCancelSleep(), and re-send the signal if needed?

Note that I'm just thinking about such a problem, did not try to reproduce it.
