[tip PATCH v6 2/8] RFC: futex: futex_top_waiter()

[Darren Hart]

Improve legibility by wrapping finding the top waiter in a function.  This
will be used by the follow-on patches for enabling requeue pi.

Changelog:
V6: -Shortened function length after review from tglx
    -Corrected kernel-doc formatting
V4: -Simplified logic in the hb loop
    -Return the futex_q as the task can be had from there if needed
    -Updated comments and dropped the -safe iterator per review from tglx
V3: -Comment linewidth cleanup
V1: -Initial version
