Jakub, this is the inconsistency you pointed out while we were analyzing 
the scheduling circular lists.

The problem in gomp_task_run_pre() is that, upon setting an upcoming 
running task to TIED, we may leave either the sibling or taskgroup 
queues in an indeterminate state.  We may have upcoming WAITING tasks 
which means we may end up with a queue that looks like:

			    child_task
				|
				|
				V
	WAITING -> WAITING -> TIED -> WAITING

Where TIED was the WAITING child_task upon entry, but will become TIED. 
  Having a WAITING task following a TIED task violates our assumptions 
for the sibling and taskgroup queues.

How this all worked is beyond me, since all the various scheduling 
points in task.c are picking from the top of their respective queues. 
What happens if any of the scheduling points come to a TIED task?  Who 
will pick up the remaining WAITING tasks that are incorrectly living 
past the TIED task?

However magically this happened before :), my attached changes to 
gomp_task_run_pre() will move this task to the end of the queue such 
that the WAITING tasks are first.

To find possible culprits I wrote various verification routines, which I 
think will be of use going forward.  They are guarded by 
_LIBGOMP_CHECKING_ which will be optimized away if set to 0.

I have tested this patch on x86-64 Linux with _LIBGOMP_CHECKING_ of 1 
with and without my rewiring changes, for OMP_NUM_THREADS of 
1,2,4,5,16,56 (56 being my testing box's maximum number of threads). 
The verification routines found an actual failure in the taskgroup 
queues which this patch definitely fixes.

I also found that GOMP_taskgroup_end() passes a taskgroup to 
gomp_task_run_pre() that may or may not be relevant to the child_task at 
hand, because GOMP_taskgroup_end() may be picking the next task from 
either the sibling queue or the taskgroup queue.  If the task is chosen 
from the sibling queue, it's because we have no WAITING tasks in the 
taskgroup, so IMO we shouldn't be passing around a taskgroup that 
doesn't match.  This is also fixed.

Many of this will become clearer/simpler with my upcoming API changes. 
When priorities are implemented, I will adjust these verification 
routines to work with the circular lists *and* with the AVL/whatever trees.

OK for branch?

FWIW, thinking about this some more, I suppose setting a task to 
GOMP_TASK_TIED by iterating through its sibling queue could render the 
taskgroup queue into an indeterminate state, by leaving the taskgroup 
with TIED tasks before WAITING tasks.  And vice versa, removing from 
taskgroup could leave the sibling queue confused.

However... since we remove the child_task from the team->task_queue 
altogether in gomp_task_run_pre(), the team->task_queue will still be 
sane and barrier picking should work.  I suppose what's happening is 
that if we mess up the child or taskgroup queues, barrier picking will 
still pick stuff up. ??

Also, sibling and taskgroup queues are created by inserting things at 
the top, while the team's task_queue is populated by inserting at the 
end.  So barrier and child/taskgroup picking are working in opposite orders.

...or some combination of the above.  Either way, I say we've been 
lucky.  I still think we should fix those links as per my patch.
