[Bug ports/11291] potential deadlock in sem_*wait and sem_post for MIPS architectures

Indeed, the + is missing. This could cause statements after the macro to read a 
value from before the macro (as the compiler doesn't expect the macro to change it 
without the +, and therefore might use some old value stored in a register). 

But this is all within the same thread/instance: it doesn't fix the problem. What 
if a different thread changes isem->value?? The only way to tell the compiler 
(that I know of I must say;-)) is by means of the 'volatile' keyword.
