Subject: [PATCH] ipc/msg.c: wake up senders until there is a queue empty capacity

Take into account the total size of the already enqueued messages of
previously handled senders before another one.

Otherwise, we have serious degradation of receiver throughput for
case with multiple senders because another sender wakes up,
checks the queue capacity and falls into sleep again.

Each round-trip wastes CPU time a lot and leads to perceptible
throughput degradation.

Source code of:
	- sender/receiver
	- benchmark script
	- ready graphics of before/after results
