Subject: [PATCH] futex: Fix ZERO_PAGE cause infinite loop


This patch need both futex and zero-page developer's ack.
==========================================================

commit a13ea5b7 (mm: reinstate ZERO_PAGE) made the unfortunate regression.
following test program never finish and waste 100% cpu time.

At the making commit 38d47c1b7 (rely on get_user_pages() for shared
futexes). There isn't zero page in linux kernel. then, futex developers
thought gup retry is safe. but we reinstated zero page later...

This patch fixes it.
