This is strictly about process private futexes, while FUTEX2_NUMA covers
both shared and private futexes and helps to avoid the hash collision
and resulting contention problems which are caused by the current global
hash.

With the private futex seperation you obviously get the cross node
memory access problems, but not the general contention issues which
FUTEX2_NUMA tries to address.
