features / bitrot: Prevent spurious pthread_cond_wait() wakeup
Backport of http://review.gluster.org/13302
pthread_cond_wait() is prone to spurious wakeups and it's utmost
necessarry to check a boolean predicate for thread continuation.
See man(3) pthread_cond_wait() for details.
The following is done in bitrot scrubber:
if (list_empty (&fsscrub->scrublist))
pthread_cond_wait (&fsscrub->cond, &fsscrub->mutex);
followed by:
list_first_entry (&fsscrub->scrublist, ...)
A spurious wakeup from pthread_cond_wait() with the absence of
list_empty() check causes list_first_entry() to return garbage.
BUG: 1302199
