[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/futex_waitv03: replace TST_THREAD_STATE_WAIT with repeated wake

TST_THREAD_STATE_WAIT isn't reliable to tell that it's safe to call futex_wake().
futex_wake() can be called prematurely and return 0, which leaves other thread
timing out on futex call:
  tst_test.c:1459: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 10m 00s
  futex_waitv03.c:37: TINFO: Testing variant: syscall with old kernel spec
  tst_buffers.c:55: TINFO: Test is using guarded buffers
  futex_waitv03.c:106: TBROK: futex_waitv returned: -1: ETIMEDOUT (110)

Replace it with repeated futex_wake() until it fails or wakes at least 1 waiter.
Also extend timeout to 5 seconds to avoid false positives from systems with
high steal time (e.g. overloaded s390x host).
