I read that x->done should be protected via wait.lock during the whole
operation. swake_up_all() will release and reacquire the lock while
processing the all waiters. So we need to get

Could we play a trick like setting the highest bit in done for
indicating the complete_all() operation. The UINT_MAX/2 update looks
like do this by setting a value which has the biggest offset from 0 (but
why adding instead of just going for assigning...).
