Subject: futex: fix reference leak
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

Catalin noticed that (38d47c1b7075: futex: rely on get_user_pages() for
shared futexes) caused an mm_struct leak.

Some tracing with the function graph tracer quickly pointed out that
futex_wait() has exit paths with unbalanced reference counts.

This regression was discovered by kmemleak.
