[PATCH] futex: Fix hrtimer oops in futex_lock_pi()

From: Tony Lindgren

Commit cfafcd117da0 ("futex: Rework futex_lock_pi() to use
rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock()") caused a regression where things would
occasionally randomly oops when restarting X:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
...
Internal error: Oops: 80000005 [#1] SMP ARM
...
PC is at 0x0
LR is at __hrtimer_run_queues+0x138/0x58c
pc : [<00000000>] lr : [<c01c7884>] psr: 20000193
...
[<c01c7884>] (__hrtimer_run_queues) from [<c01c7f4c>]
(hrtimer_interrupt+0xbc/0x210)
[<c01c7f4c>] (hrtimer_interrupt) from [<c010fcfc>]
...

When this happens, the hrtimer is not properly initialized and it's
function is NULL. This happens because we now call hrtimer_start_expires()
in futex_lock_pi() for the timer initialized with hrtimer_init_on_stack().

To fix it, let's pair the hrtimer_start_expires() with hrtimer_cancel()
in the same function.
