[PATCH] pthread_cond_broadcast: Fix waiters-after-spinning case [BZ #23538]


I intend to commit this on behalf of Martin and Torvald.

Per FSF guidelines, we do not need copyright assignment for this change because it is small enough.

Martin, Torvald, would you please double-check the summary in the subject and the ChangeLog entry.

Thanks,
Florian
