Subject: [PATCH] futex: fix shared futex operations on nommu

The shared get_futex_key code does not work on nommu, but is not
needed anyway because it's impossible for a given backing to have
multiple distinct virtual addresses on nommu. Simply disable these
code paths by refraining from setting FLAG_SHARED when CONFIG_MMU is
not enabled.
