ipc/sem.c: fix incorrect sem_lock pairing
Based on the syzcaller test case from dvyukov: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/d0e5efefe4d7d6daed829f5c3ca26a40/raw/08d0a261fe3c987bed04fbf267e08ba04bd533ea/gistfile1.txt The slow (i.e.: failure to acquire) syscall exit from semtimedop() incorrectly assumed that the the same lock is acquired as it was at the initial syscall entry. This is wrong: - thread A: single semop semop(), sleeps - thread B: multi semop semop(), sleeps - thread A: woken up by signal/timeout With this sequence, the initial sem_lock() call locks the per-semaphore spinlock, and it is unlocked with sem_unlock(). The call at the syscall return locks the global spinlock. Because locknum is not updated, the following sem_unlock() call unlocks the per-semaphore spinlock, which is actually not locked. The fix is trivial: Use the return value from sem_lock.
