Subject: [ 107/109] futex: Test for pi_mutex on fault in futex_wait_requeue_pi()

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Darren Hart <dvhart@...ux.intel.com>

commit b6070a8d9853eda010a549fa9a09eb8d7269b929 upstream.

If fixup_pi_state_owner() faults, pi_mutex may be NULL. Test
for pi_mutex != NULL before testing the owner against current
and possibly unlocking it.
