This is the traditional condition variable or monitor synchronisation
primitive. It is implemented with C's `wait_queue_head_t`.
It allows users to release a lock and go to sleep while guaranteeing
that notifications won't be missed. This is achieved by enqueuing a wait
entry before releasing the lock.
