Subject: [PATCH RT 01/22] futex: Fix pi_state->owner serialization

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch.
If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know.

--- 8< --- 8< --- 8< ---
[ Upstream commit c74aef2d06a9f59cece89093eecc552933cba72a ]

There was a reported suspicion about a race between exit_pi_state_list()
and put_pi_state(). The same report mentioned the comment with
put_pi_state() said it should be called with hb->lock held, and it no
longer is in all places.

As it turns out, the pi_state->owner serialization is indeed broken. As per
the new rules:

  734009e96d19 ("futex: Change locking rules")

pi_state->owner should be serialized by pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock.
For the sites setting pi_state->owner we already hold wait_lock (where
required) but exit_pi_state_list() and put_pi_state() were not and
raced on clearing it.
