Yet more problems with the existing code.

A FreeIdSet is constructed with a pointer to a Monitor, which is used
to protect it.  The Monitor that is provided for the FreeIdSet used by
DirtyCardQueueSet is the Shared_DirtyCardQ_lock, which is actually a
Mutex.  Mutex doesn't support notify_all and wait, both of which are
used by FreeIdSet. If enough threads attempt to allocate an id (in
mut_process_buffer) that some will wait, the wait in claim_par_id and
the associated notify_all in release_par_id will accidentally work,
because Mutex is weirdly derived from Monitor rather than the other
way around or some other arrangement, so that the Mutex* gets
implicitly converted to a Monitor*, thereby slicing off
Mutex::notify_all and Mutex::wait and instead using the Monitor
functions.
