[tip PATCH v7 6/9] RFC: futex: Add FUTEX_HAS_TIMEOUT flag torestart.futex.flags

[Darren Hart]

Currently restart is only used if there is a timeout.  The requeue_pi
functionality requires restarting to futex_lock_pi() on signal after wakeup in
futex_wait_requeue_pi() regardless of if there was a timeout or not.  Using 0
for the timeout value is confusing as that could indicate an expired timer.
The flag makes this explicit.  While the check is not technically needed in
futex_wait_restart(), doing so makes the code consistent with and will avoid
confusion should the need arise to restart wait without a timeout.

Changelog:
V7: -Corrected FLAGS_HAS_TIMEOUT flag detection logic per Eric Dumazet
V6: - Initial version
