ipc/sem.c: always use only one queue for alter operations
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.
