Subject: [PATCH 7/7] implement the local lock for condition variables with
 the new lock feature

Condition variables (pthread and C11) had a specialized lock
implementation that already had been designed such that no access to the
variable is made after an unlock. Here this is mandatory because the
implementation uses variables on the thread's stack to chain the access.

The previous implementation only held two different internal states, one
when there is no congestion and one when there is. The latter is then
used to wake up other threads if necessary.

The new lock structure deals with such situation more adequately, because
it keeps track of the exact congestion and allows us to react
appropriately.
