[PATCH v8 15/15] futex: Avoid allocating new local hash if there is something pending.
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Mon Feb 03 2025 - 09:04:40 EST
If a new private hash has been prepared but not yet applied then
creating a new thread will lead to the allocation of another private
hash which will be freed later.
This is an optional optimisation to avoid allocating a new private hash
if the already prepared private hash matches the current requirement.
