Subject: [PATCH 4/6] futex: Use current->time_slack_ns for rt tasks too

RT tasks should set their timer slack to 0 on their own.  This patch removes
the 'if (rt_task()) slack = 0;' block in futex_wait.

Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation.  Passes basic
pthread_mutex and PI tests out of ltp/testcases/realtime.
