/// A conditional variable.
///
/// Exposes the kernel's [`struct wait_queue_head`] as a condition variable. It allows the caller to
/// atomically release the given lock and go to sleep. It reacquires the lock when it wakes up. And
/// it wakes up when notified by another thread (via [`CondVar::notify_one`] or
/// [`CondVar::notify_all`]) or because the thread received a signal. It may also wake up
/// spuriously.
///
/// Instances of [`CondVar`] need a lock class and to be pinned. The recommended way to create such
/// instances is with the [`pin_init`](crate::pin_init!) and [`new_condvar`] macros.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The following is an example of using a condvar with a mutex:
///
/// ```
/// use kernel::sync::{new_condvar, new_mutex, CondVar, Mutex};
///
/// #[pin_data]
/// pub struct Example {
///     #[pin]
///     value: Mutex<u32>,
///
///     #[pin]
///     value_changed: CondVar,
/// }
///
/// /// Waits for `e.value` to become `v`.
/// fn wait_for_value(e: &Example, v: u32) {
///     let mut guard = e.value.lock();
///     while *guard != v {
///         e.value_changed.wait(&mut guard);
///     }
/// }
///
/// /// Increments `e.value` and notifies all potential waiters.
/// fn increment(e: &Example) {
///     *e.value.lock() += 1;
///     e.value_changed.notify_all();
/// }
///
/// /// Allocates a new boxed `Example`.
/// fn new_example() -> Result<Pin<KBox<Example>>> {
///     KBox::pin_init(pin_init!(Example {
///         value <- new_mutex!(0),
///         value_changed <- new_condvar!(),
///     }), GFP_KERNEL)
