  50      to any waiters.  Relaxed MO is sufficient for that because:
  51      1) We can pick any position that is allowed by external happens-before
  52         constraints.  In particular, if another __pthread_cond_wait call
  53         happened before us, this waiter must be eligible for being woken by
  54         us.  The only way do establish such a happens-before is by signaling
  55         while having acquired the mutex associated with the condvar and
  56         ensuring that the signal's critical section happens after the waiter.
  57         Thus, the mutex ensures that we see that waiter's __wseq increase.
  58      2) Once we pick a position, we do not need to communicate this to the
  59         program via a happens-before that we set up: First, any wake-up could
  60         be a spurious wake-up, so the program must not interpret a wake-up as
  61         an indication that the waiter happened before a particular signal;
  62         second, a program cannot detect whether a waiter has not yet been
  63         woken (i.e., it cannot distinguish between a non-woken waiter and one
  64         that has been woken but hasn't resumed execution yet), and thus it
  65         cannot try to deduce that a signal happened before a particular
  66         waiter.  */
