Hrmm,. the sem code would have serialized on the IN_WAKER stuff, the
mutex code would serialize on the ->wait_lock, and the futex code would
have serialized on the hb lock.
So while it can issue multiple wakeups, those should not leak out of the
locking primitive.. crap.
Still wondering why we've got that many schedule() calls in the kernel
though, clearly we don't have enough blocking primitives or so..
