A process suspended waiting for a higher sequence or no sequence to unreserve,
a bo may be beaten to the reservation by a process with a lower sequence.
In that case the first process should give up trying to reserve and
return -EAGAIN. In order for that to happen, we must wake waiting processes
when we change sequence, so that they have a chance to detect the new
sequence.
