futex: Avoid freeing an active timer

Alexander reported a hrtimer debug_object splat:

  ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: hrtimer hint: hrtimer_wakeup (kernel/time/hrtimer.c:1423)

  debug_object_free (lib/debugobjects.c:603)
  destroy_hrtimer_on_stack (kernel/time/hrtimer.c:427)
  futex_lock_pi (kernel/futex.c:2740)
  do_futex (kernel/futex.c:3399)
  SyS_futex (kernel/futex.c:3447 kernel/futex.c:3415)
  do_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/common.c:284)
  entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:249)

Which was caused by commit:

  cfafcd117da0 ("futex: Rework futex_lock_pi() to use rt_mutex_*_proxy_lock()")

... losing the hrtimer_cancel() in the shuffle. Where previously the
hrtimer_cancel() was done by rt_mutex_slowlock() we now need to do it
manually.
