[PATCH-tip v5 10/21] TP-futex: Enable robust handling

[Waiman Long]

The TP futexes don't have code to handle the death of futex
owners. There are 2 different cases that need to be considered.

As top waiter gets a reference to the task structure of the futex
owner, the task structure will never go away even if the owner dies.
When the futex owner died while the top waiter is spinning, the task
structure will be marked dead or the pid won't have a matching task
structure if the task died before a reference is taken. Alternatively,
if robust futex attribute is enabled, the FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit of the
futex word may also be set. In all those cases, what the top waiter
need to do is to grab the futex directly. An informational message
will be printed to highlight this event.

If the futex owner died while the top waiter is sleeping, we need to
make the exit processing code to wake up the top waiter. This is done
by chaining the futex state object into the pi_state_list of the futex
owner before the top waiter sleeps so that if exit_pi_state_list()
is called, the wakeup will happen. The top waiter needs to remove
its futex state object from the pi_state_list of the old owner if
the ownership changes hand or when the lock is acquired.
