Hi!

I hope this is the only cause of the random failures of tst-cond{16,17,18}
on pthread_cond_*.c using architectures.
Certainly on 7way PPC I managed to run 71 tst-cond18 runs without a failure
(while previously it took at most 20 to fail) and so far 16 tst-cond16 runs.

	* sysdeps/pthread/pthread_cond_wait.c (__pthread_cond_wait): Compare
	__broadcast_seq with bc_seq after acquiring internal lock instead of
	before it.
