FUTEX2_64 -> FLAGS_SIZE_MASK

I read the comment above as '64bit code can only have 64bit futexes',
which is obviously wrong and not what the code is checking.
Something like this would be better:

/* Reject 64bit futexes on !64bit code. */

Or Perhaps make it generic:

/* Don't allow futexes larger than the word size */
if (futex_size(flags) > (__WORDSIZE/8) || in_compat_syscall())
