bug#59055: [PATCH] Fix possible deadlock.

[Olivier Dion]

If we got interrupted while waiting on our condition variable, we unlock
the kernel mutex momentarily while executing asynchronous operations
before putting us back into the waiting queue.

However, we have to retry acquiring the mutex before getting back into
the queue, otherwise it's possible that we wait indefinitely since
nobody could be the owner for a while.

* libguile/threads.c (lock_mutex): Try acquring the mutex after signal
interruption.
