 * futex-wake: Block a bunch of threads on a futex and wake'em up, N at a time.
 *
 * This program is particularly useful to measure the latency of nthread wakeups
 * in non-error situations:  all waiters are queued and all wake calls wakeup
 * one or more tasks, and thus the waitqueue is never empty.
