Actually, you don't need to tell the lock owner you are waiting for it,
you only need to make the lock itself have a priority, and the owner
will inherit that priority as long as it holds the lock.

Hmm, that would actually work, though I'm not too enthusiastic about
sched_yield().

I don't like sched_yield() either, but this is exactly what it was made
for. To give a process with the same priority the CPU.
