retry on cas failures in sem_trywait
this seems counter-intuitive since sem_trywait is supposed to just try once, not wait for the semaphore. however, the retry loop is not a wait. instead, it's to handle the case where the value changes due to a simultaneous post or wait from another thread while the semaphore value remains positive. in such a case, it's absolutely wrong for sem_trywait to fail with EAGAIN because the semaphore is not busy.
