Willy Tarreau f519cfaa63 MINOR: threads: make thread_release() not wait for other ones to complete
The original intent of making thread_release() wait for other requesters to
proceed was more of a fairness trade, guaranteeing that a thread that was
granted an access to the CPU would be in turn giving back once its job is
done. But this is counter-productive as it forces such threads to spin
instead of going back to the poller, and it prevents us from implementing
multiple levels of guarantees, as a thread_release() call could spin
waiting for another requester to pass while that requester expects
stronger guarantees than the current thread may be able to offer.

Let's just remove that wait period and let the thread go back to the
poller, a-la "race to idle".

While in theory it could possibly slightly increase the perceived
latency of concurrent slow operations like "show fd" or "show sess",
it is not the case at all in tests, probably because the time needed
to reach the poller remains extremely low anyway.
