    Robust mutexes: Fix lost wake-up.

    Assume that Thread 1 waits to acquire a robust mutex using futexes to
    block (and thus sets the FUTEX_WAITERS flag), and is unblocked when this
    mutex is released.  If Thread 2 concurrently acquires the lock and is
    killed, Thread 1 can recover from the died owner but fail to restore the
    FUTEX_WAITERS flag.  This can lead to a Thread 3 that also blocked using
    futexes at the same time as Thread 1 to not get woken up because
    FUTEX_WAITERS is not set anymore.

    The fix for this is to ensure that we continue to preserve the
    FUTEX_WAITERS flag whenever we may have set it or shared it with another
    thread.  This is the same requirement as in the algorithm for normal
    mutexes, only that the robust mutexes need additional handling for died
    owners and thus preserving the FUTEX_WAITERS flag cannot be done just in
    the futex slowpath code.

        [BZ #20973]
        * nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c (__pthread_mutex_lock_full): Fix lost
        wake-up in robust mutexes.
        * nptl/pthread_mutex_timedlock.c (pthread_mutex_timedlock): Likewise.
