Thanks!

There's a slight drop in performance either from the barrier or larger
code, but I'm not worried (it was around 9-10s before wfcqueue).

$ time ./eponeshotmt -c 1000000 -w 4 -t 4 -f 10
real    0m 5.83s
user    0m 1.35s
sys     0m 21.95s

I also ran v2 on Davide Libenzi's totalmess epoll stresser for a few
hours yesterday without failures.  Running totalmess right now on v3,
so far so good :)
