arm64: futex: Bound number of LDXR/STXR loops in FUTEX_WAKE_OP
commit 03110a5cb2161690ae5ac04994d47ed0cd6cef75 upstream. Our futex implementation makes use of LDXR/STXR loops to perform atomic updates to user memory from atomic context. This can lead to latency problems if we end up spinning around the LL/SC sequence at the expense of doing something useful. Rework our futex atomic operations so that we return -EAGAIN if we fail to update the futex word after 128 attempts. The core futex code will reschedule if necessary and we'll try again later.
