Log:
  Set waiters flag before checking semaphore's counter,
otherwise we might lose a wakeup. Tested on postgresql database server.

Uhm... if I ktrace a hanging process and I see some semop()s (I assume it is waiting on some event to happen), where on Linux this process is working correctly, then I would like to test this patch to see if the process still has the same problem?

Or differently asked: this affects the operation of semop(2)?

Bye,
Alexander.

This implementation uses umtx, the one in RELENG_8 uses semop() syscall.
They are unrelated.
