Subject: QSemaphore::tryAquire(timeout) -- never times out on an active
 semaphore

If a thread trying to acquire multiple resources is continuously
preempted by threads acquiring smaller amounts, the larger consumer
would end up waiting forever (instead of for the given timeout).

Fix this by keeping track of elapsed time between wakeups using
QElapsedTimer.

Task-number: QTBUG-11500
