Subject: [PATCH 3/3] futex: add futex_q static initializer

The futex_q struct has grown considerably over the last couple years. I
believe it now merits a static initializer to avoid uninitialized data
errors (having spent more time than I care to admit debugging an uninitialized
q.bitset in an experimental new op code).

With the key initializer built in, several of the FUTEX_KEY_INIT calls can
be removed.
