Subject: [PATCH 1/4 V2 ] futex,plist: pass the real head of the priority list
 to plist_del()


Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the
priority list.

It can work because current code does not require the real head
in plist_del(). The code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking,
so it will not cause bad result even when we use a faked head.

But it is an undocumented usage:

/**
 * plist_del - Remove a @node from plist.
 *
 * @node:	&struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed
 * @head:	&struct plist_head pointer - list head
 */

The document said that @head is "list head" the head of the priority list.

In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);",
they passes faked head, we fix them all.

Thank to Darren Hart for many suggests.
