commit    d699ba41349e4ef397222a7223606fa03f4c4870
Author:   Heikki Linnakangas <heikki.linnakangas@iki.fi>
Date:     Mon Feb 10 13:14:07 2014 +0000
First released in: 9.4.0

    Fix WakeupWaiters() to not wake up an exclusive locker unnecessarily.
    
    WakeupWaiters() is supposed to wake up all LW_WAIT_UNTIL_FREE waiters of
    the slot, but the loop incorrectly also woke up the first LW_EXCLUSIVE
    waiter, if there was no LW_WAIT_UNTIL_FREE waiters in the queue.
    
    Noted by Andres Freund. This code is new in 9.4, so no backpatching.
