[PATCH v2 5/5] selftests/futex: fix the issue of abnormal test results caused by thread timing

[Yuwen Chen <ywen.chen@foxmail.com>]

Fixes a race between parent and child threads in futex_requeue.

Similar to commit fbf4dec70277 ("selftests/futex: Order calls to
futex_lock_pi"), which fixed a flake in futex_lock_pi due to racing
between the parent and child threads.

The same issue can occur in the futex_requeue test, because it expects
waiterfn to make progress to futex_wait before the parent starts to
requeue. This is mitigated by the parent sleeping for WAKE_WAIT_US, but
it still fails occasionally. This can be reproduced by adding a sleep in
the waiterfn before futex_wait:

TAP version 13
1..2
not ok 1 futex_requeue simple returned: 0
not ok 2 futex_requeue simple returned: 0
not ok 3 futex_requeue many returned: 0
not ok 4 futex_requeue many returned: 0

This issue can be resolved by checking whether the child thread is in a
sleeping state. This is because when the child thread goes to sleep, it
indicates that it is waiting for the futex lock.
