For compounded PDUs we whould only wake the waiting thread for the
very last PDU of the compound.
We do this so that we are guaranteed that the demultiplex_thread will
not process or access any of those MIDs any more once the send/recv
thread starts processing.

Else there is a race where at the end of the send/recv processing we
will try to delete all the mids of the compound. If the multiplex
thread still has other mids to process at this point for this compound
this can lead to an oops.
