Barnabás Pőcze 7609719514 libcamera: base: semaphore: Do not unlock prematurely
In `Semaphore::release()`, unlocking the mutex before signalling the condition
variable can be problematic, especially with "temporary" objects such as the
ones `BoundMethodBase::activatePack()` uses to handle `ConnectionTypeBlocking`.

Specifically, `Semaphore::acquire()` might lock the mutex after `Semaphore::release()`
has unlocked it, but before it had the chance to notify the condition variable.
In that case `Semaphore::acquire()` can succeed, and execution may proceed to
destroy the `Semaphore` object while the other thread is in the process of
running `std::condition_variable::notify_all()`.

* primitives to acquire and release resources. The acquire() function tries to
* acquire a number of resources, and blocks if not enough resources are
* available until they get released. The release() function releases a number
* of resources, waking up any consumer blocked on an acquire() call.
