Introduce separate queues for operations that do not modify the semaphore
values.  Advantages:

- Simpler logic in check_restart().
- Faster update_queue(): Right now, all wait-for-zero operations
  are always tested, even if the semaphore value is not 0.
- wait-for-zero gets again priority, as in linux <=3.0.9
