Subject: [PATCH v2 15/22] futex: Simplify double_lock_hb()

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

We need to make sure that all requeue operations take the hash bucket
locks in the same order to avoid deadlock. Simplify the current
double_lock_hb implementation by making sure hb1 is always the
"smallest" bucket to avoid extra checks.
