[PATCH] MIPS: use 32-bit wrapper for compat_sys_futex

[Yong Zhang]

We can't trust in the caller(userspace) to give signed-extend
parameter, thus futex-wait may fail in some special case.

For example, if 'val' is too big and bit-31 is 1,
the caller may enter endless loop at:
futex_wait_setup()
{
	...

	if (uval != val) {
		queue_unlock(q, *hb);
		ret = -EWOULDBLOCK;

	...
}

Below assembler code will make it more easy to understand how
the patch take effect :)

Dump of assembler code for function SyS_32_futex:
   0xffffffff811b6fe8 <+0>:	sll	a1,a1,0x0
   0xffffffff811b6fec <+4>:	sll	a2,a2,0x0
   0xffffffff811b6ff0 <+8>:	j	0xffffffff8121a240 <compat_sys_futex>
   0xffffffff811b6ff4 <+12>:	sll	a5,a5,0x0
