futex: Handle unlock_pi race gracefully

[ Upstream commit 89e9e66ba1b3bde9d8ea90566c2aee20697ad681 ]

If userspace calls UNLOCK_PI unconditionally without trying the TID -> 0
transition in user space first then the user space value might not have the
waiters bit set. This opens the following race:

CPU0	    	      	    CPU1
uval = get_user(futex)
			    lock(hb)
lock(hb)
			    futex |= FUTEX_WAITERS
			    ....
			    unlock(hb)

cmpxchg(futex, uval, newval)

So the cmpxchg fails and returns -EINVAL to user space, which is wrong because
the futex value is valid.

To handle this (yes, yet another) corner case gracefully, check for a flag
change and retry.
