This issue was observed as a deadloack in
29_atomics/atomic/wait_notify/100334.cc on vxworks. When a wait is
"laundered" (e.g. type T* does not suffice as a waitable address for the
platform's native waiting primitive), the address waited is that of the
_M_ver member of __waiter_pool_base, so several threads may wait on the
same address for unrelated atomic<T>'s. As noted in the PR, the
implementation correctly exits the wait for the thread who's data
changed, but not for any other threads waiting on the same address.

As noted in the PR the __waiter::_M_do_wait_v member was correctly exiting
but the other waiters were not reloaded the value of _M_ver before
re-entering the wait.

Moving the spin call inside the loop accomplishes this, and is
consistent with the predicate accepting version of __waiter::_M_do_wait.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	PR libstdc++/104442
	* include/bits/atomic_wait.h (__waiter::_M_do_wait_v): Move spin
	 loop inside do loop so that threads failing the wait, reload
	 _M_ver.
