[PATCH] ntdll: Make RtlDeregisterWaitEx(handle, INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) thread safe.

Chromium signals the wait semaphore and calls DeregisterWaitEx with
CompletionHandle = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE in close succession. Sometimes
the worker thread decides to run the callback, but before it sets
CallbackInProgress RtlDeregisterWaitEx decides that the callback is not
running and returns STATUS_SUCCESS. Chromium then releases resources
that the callback needs to run, resulting in random crashes.

The tests show that we're only supposed to return STATUS_PENDING if the
callback is running. Note that the choice between waiting and returning
STATUS_SUCCESS and not waiting and returning STATUS_PENDING is still
racy, but we'll no longer return STATUS_SUCCESS and run the callback
afterwards.

I tried to extend the tests to show what happens when both events are
available simultanously. The answer is that it is fairly random.
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE blocks and runs the callback one last time, the
other ways of calling RtlDeregisterWait[Ex] randomly return STATUS_SUCCESS
and do not run the callback, or they return STATUS_PENDING and may or
may not run the callback. However, in no circumstance does the callback
run after STATUS_SUCCESS is returned.

I am not including the tests because of the random outcome and because
it plays with SuspendThread and makes the random failures in follow up
tests worse. I'll send it to wine-devel for reference.
