Subject: [GIT pull] futex fix for 3.17

Linus,

please pull the latest locking-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git locking-urgent-for-linus

A oneliner bugfix for the jinxed futex code:

- Drop has bucket lock in the error exit path. I really could slap
  myself for intruducing that bug while fixing all the other horror in
  that code three month ago ...

Thanks,

	tglx
