This version pulls in the bits mistakenly left in 3/4.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4 V2] futex: convert hash_bucket locks to raw_spinlock_t
The requeue_pi mechanism introduced proxy locking of the rtmutex. This creates
a scenario where a task can wake-up, not knowing it has been enqueued on an
rtmutex. In order to detect this, the task would have to be able to take either
task->pi_blocked_on->lock->wait_lock and/or the hb->lock. Unfortunately,
without already holding one of these, the pi_blocked_on variable can change
from NULL to valid or from valid to NULL. Therefor, the task cannot be allowed
to take a sleeping lock after wakeup or it could end up trying to block on two
locks, the second overwriting a valid pi_blocked_on value. This obviously
breaks the pi mechanism.
This patch increases latency, while running the ltp pthread_cond_many test
which Michal reported the bug with, I see double digit hrtimer latencies
(typically only on the first run after boo):
kernel: hrtimer: interrupt took 75911 ns
This might be addressed by changing the various loops in the futex code to be
incremental, probably at an additional throughput hit. The private hash_bucket
lists discussed in the past could reduce hb->lock contention in some scenarios.
It should be noted that pthread_cond_many is a rather pathological case.
This also introduces problems for plists which want a spinlock_t rather
than a raw_spinlock_t. Any thoughts on how to address this?
