If there are many goroutines contending for two different locks and both locks hash to the same semaRoot, the scans to find the goroutines for a particular lock can end up being O(n), making n lock acquisitions quadratic. As long as only one actively-used lock hashes to each semaRoot there's no problem, since the list operations in that case are O(1). But when the second actively-used lock hits the same semaRoot, then scans for entries with for a given lock have to scan over the entries for the other lock. Fix this problem by changing the semaRoot to hold only one sudog per unique address. In the running example, this drops the length of that list from O(n) to 2. Then attach other goroutines waiting on the same address to a separate list headed by the sudog in the semaRoot list. Those "same address list" operations are still O(1), so now the example from above works much better. There is still an assumption here that in real programs you don't have many many goroutines queueing up on many many distinct addresses. If we end up with that problem, we can replace the top-level list with a treap. Fixes #17953.
