Our sysv sems have been using the notion of lockless wakeups for a
while, ever since commit 0a2b9d4c ("ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process
out of the spinlock section"), in order to reduce the sem_lock hold
times.  This in-house pending queue can be replaced by wake_q (just like
all the rest of ipc now), in that it provides the following advantages:

 o Simplifies and gets rid of unnecessary code.

 o We get rid of the IN_WAKEUP complexities. Given that wake_q_add()
   grabs reference to the task, if awoken due to an unrelated event,
   between the wake_q_add() and wake_up_q() window, we cannot race with
   sys_exit and the imminent call to wake_up_process().

 o By not spinning IN_WAKEUP, we no longer need to disable preemption.

In consequence, the wakeup paths (after schedule(), that is) must
acknowledge an external signal/event, as well spurious wakeup occurring
during the pending wakeup window.  Obviously no changes in semantics
that could be visible to the user.  The fastpath is _only_ for when we
know for sure that we were awoken due to a the waker's successful semop
call (queue.status is not -EINTR).

On a 48-core Haswell, running the ipcscale 'waitforzero' test, the
following is seen with increasing thread counts:
