So the user space value is: 8000c62e. FUTEX_WAITER bit is set and the owner
of the futex is PID 50734, which exited long time ago:

           <...>-50734 [000] ....  2376.394936: sched_process_exit: comm=ld64.so.1 pid=50734 prio=120

But at least from the kernel view 50734 has released it last:

           <...>-50734 [000] ....  2376.394930: sys_futex(uaddr: 3ffb7700208, op: 7, val: 3ff00000007, utime: 3ffb3ef8910, uaddr2: 3ffb3ef8910, val3: 3ffc0afe987)
           <...>-50539 [003] ....  2376.398223: sys_futex(uaddr: 3ffb7700208, op: 6, val: 1, utime: 0, uaddr2: 3, val3: 0)

Now, if it would have acquired it in userspace again before exiting, then
the robust list exit code should have set the OWNER_DIED bit as well, but
that's not set....

debug patch for the robust list exit handling below.

Thanks,
