SVN rev 197445 on 2009-09-23 21:38:57Z by attilio
rwlock implemented from libthr need to fall through the 'hard path' and
query umtx also if the shared waiters bit is set on a shared lock.
The writer starvation avoidance technique, infact, can lead to shared
waiters on a shared lock which can bring to a missed wakeup and thus
to a deadlock if the right bit is not checked (a notable case is the
writers counterpart to be handled through expired timeouts).
Fix that by checking for the shared waiters bit also when unlocking the
shared locks.
That bug was causing a reported MySQL deadlock.
Many thanks go to Nick Esborn and his employer DesertNet which provided
time and machines to identify and fix this issue.
