ipc/sem.c: sem use list operations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Replace the handcoded list operations in update_queue() with the standard
list_for_each_entry macros.

list_for_each_entry_safe() must be used, because list entries can
disappear immediately uppon the wakeup event.
