8beaf76c85 SeqWait: don't do wakeups under the lock
Clippy pointed out that `drop(waiters)` didn't do anything, because
there was a misplaced ";" causing `waiters` to be a unit type `()`.

This change makes it do what was intended: the lock should be dropped
first, then the wakeups should be processed.

8060e17b50 add SeqWait
SeqWait adds a way to .await the arrival of some sequence number.
It provides wait_for(num) which is an async fn, and advance(num) which
is synchronous.

This should be useful in solving the page cache deadlocks, and may be
useful in other areas too.

This implementation still uses a Mutex internally, but only for a brief
critical section. If we find this code broadly useful and start to care
more about executor stalls due to unfair thread scheduling, there might
be ways to make it lock-free.
