Perhaps it would be better to keep the "result" but use it in the
marked line below, like it was done in previous part of this function?

                        un->semadj[sop->sem_num] = undo;
                }
                curr->semval += sem_op; <<<<<< VvS: here ?
                ipc_update_pid(&curr->sempid, q->pid);
