[ 44/69] ipc/sem.c: always use only one queue for alter operations

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com>

commit f269f40ad5aeee229ed70044926f44318abe41ef upstream.

There are two places that can contain alter operations:
 - the global queue: sma->pending_alter
 - the per-semaphore queues: sma->sem_base[].pending_alter.

Since one of the queues must be processed first, this causes an odd
priorization of the wakeups: complex operations have priority over
simple ops.

The patch restores the behavior of linux <=3.0.9: The longest waiting
operation has the highest priority.

This is done by using only one queue:
 - if there are complex ops, then sma->pending_alter is used.
 - otherwise, the per-semaphore queues are used.

As a side effect, do_smart_update_queue() becomes much simpler: no more
goto logic.
