Manfred Spraul c626bc46ed 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.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
