ipc/sem.c: Fix missing wakeups in do_smart_update_queue()



do_smart_update_queue() is called when an operation (semop,
semctl(SETVAL), semctl(SETALL), ...) modified the array.  It must check
which of the sleeping tasks can proceed.

do_smart_update_queue() missed a few wakeups:
 - if a sleeping complex op was completed, then all per-semaphore queues
   must be scanned - not only those that were modified by *sops
 - if a sleeping simple op proceeded, then the global queue must be
   scanned again

And:
 - the test for "|sops == NULL) before scanning the global queue is not
   required: If the global queue is empty, then it doesn't need to be
   scanned - regardless of the reason for calling do_smart_update_queue()

The patch is not optimized, i.e.  even completing a wait-for-zero
operation causes a rescan.  This is done to keep the patch as simple as
possible.
