Manfred Spraul c626bc46ed ipc/sem.c: fix incorrect sem_lock pairing
Based on the syzcaller test case from dvyukov:

  08d0a261fe/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.
