Subject: pi futex oops in __lock_acquire

I've been able to trigger this for the last week or so.
Unclear whether this is a new bug, or my fuzzer got smarter, but I see the
pi-futex code hasn't changed since the last time it found something..

It looks like we got all the way to lock_acquire with a NULL 'lock' somehow.

Darren, any idea how this could happen ?
