I have updated the test case slightly (reduced the number of lock/unlock
cycles to 1).
Then, I have used the additional patch (see bellow) on top of the one
you have posted and here is the log I am getting:

As you can see lookup_pi_state fails for the pid (13242) which is at the very
bottom and that is unlocking the futex. This smells fishy to me. I can
see this pattern consistently for all failures. Maybe I am doing
something wrong or the timestamps are not precise enough but from what I
can see this looks like a bug in lookup_pi_state which doesn't find an
existing PID.
