[tip PATCH] futex: fix futex_wait_setup key handling

From: Darren Hart
Date: Fri Apr 10 2009 - 12:23:40 EST


If the get_futex_key() call were to fail, the existing code would
try and put_futex_key() prior to returning. This patch makes sure
we only put_futex_key() if get_futex_key() succeeded.

Please apply to -rt and to tip:/core/futexes.
