doc: Fix misnamed FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI op constants

FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI was misnamed in two different ways:
FUTEX_REQUEUE_CMP_PI and FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI. The existence of two
different misnamings leaves the reader wondering if we are talking
about two different operations. Furthermore, the misnamings mean
that grepping the source for the correct name (which doesn't
appear at all) won't find this documentation file.

FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI accepts nr_wake and nr_requeue as arguments, but
FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI accepts nr_wake and nr_requeue as arguments, but
their sum is all that really matters. futex_requeue() will wake or
requeue up to nr_wake + nr_requeue tasks. It will wake only as many
tasks as it can acquire the lock for, which in the majority of cases
should be 0 as good programming practice dictates that the caller of
either pthread_cond_broadcast() or pthread_cond_signal() acquire the
mutex prior to making the call. FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI requires that
mutex prior to making the call. FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI requires that
nr_wake=1. nr_requeue should be INT_MAX for broadcast and 0 for
signal.
