Modified Files:
        src/sys/rump/librump/rumpkern: ltsleep.c

Log Message:
Fix hopefully the last deadlock in the wretched piece of code:
since ltsleep abuses "while (!mutex_tryenter()) continue;" for NOT
releasing the kernel biglock before sleeping, we cannot do a normal
mutex_enter() in the wakeup path, or otherwise we might be a
situation where the sleeper holds the kernel lock and wants the
sleepermutex (and will not back down) and the wakeupper holds the
sleepermutex and wants the kernel lock.  So introduce kernel lock
backdown to the wakeup path.
