Subject: [PATCH v9 04/11] futex: Hash only the address for private futexes.

futex_hash() passes the whole futex_key to jhash2. The first two member
are passed as the first argument and the offset as the "initial value".

For private futexes, the mm-part is always the same and it is used only
within the process. By excluding the mm part from the hash, we reduce
the length passed to jhash2 from 4 (16 / 4) to 2 (8 / 2). This avoids
the __jhash_mix() part of jhash.

The resulting code is smaller and based on testing this variant performs
as good as the original or slightly better.
