[PATCH 2/6] futex: add futex_q static initializer

[Darren Hart]

The futex_q struct has grown considerably over the last year or so. I
believe it now merits a static initializer to avoid uninitialized data
errors (having just spent more time than I care to admit debugging
an uninitialized q.bitset in an experimental new op code).

I originally planned on following the __THING_INITIALIZER/DECLARE_THING
method, but since we already had FUTEX_KEY_INIT, and I personally prefer
that method, I went that route.
