futex: Change locking rules
commit 734009e9 upstream. This patch comes directly from an origin patch (commit dc3f2ff1 ) in v4.9. Currently futex-pi relies on hb->lock to serialize everything. But hb->lock creates another set of problems, especially priority inversions on RT where hb->lock becomes a rt_mutex itself. The rt_mutex::wait_lock is the most obvious protection for keeping the futex user space value and the kernel internal pi_state in sync. Rework and document the locking so rt_mutex::wait_lock is held accross all operations which modify the user space value and the pi state. This allows to invoke rt_mutex_unlock() (including deboost) without holding hb->lock as a next step. Nothing yet relies on the new locking rules.
