When trying to understand semop code, I found a small mistake in the check
for semadj (undo) value overflow.  The new undo value is not stored
immediately and next potential checks are done against the old value.

The failing scenario is not much practical.  One semop call has to do more
operations on the same semaphore.  Also semval and semadj must have
different values, so there has to be some operations without SEM_UNDO
flag.  For example:

struct sembuf depositor_op[1];
struct sembuf collector_op[2];

depositor_op[0].sem_num = 0;
depositor_op[0].sem_op = 20000;
depositor_op[0].sem_flg = 0;

collector_op[0].sem_num = 0;
collector_op[0].sem_op = -10000;
collector_op[0].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;
collector_op[1].sem_num = 0;
collector_op[1].sem_op = -10000;
collector_op[1].sem_flg = SEM_UNDO;

if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 1st deposit"); return 1; }

if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 1st collect"); return 1; }

if (semop(semid, depositor_op, 1) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 2nd deposit"); return 1; }

if (semop(semid, collector_op, 2) == -1)
{ perror("Failed to do 2nd collect"); return 1; }

return 0;

It passes without error now but the semadj value has overflown in the 2nd
collector operation.
