futex: Handle unlock_pi race gracefully
If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0 transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the waiters bit set. This opens the following race: CPU0 CPU1 uval = get_user(futex) lock(hb) lock(hb) futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS .... unlock(hb) cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval) So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because the futex value is valid. To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag change and retry.
