perf bench futex: Fix hung wakeup tasks after requeueing
The futex-requeue benchmark can hang because of missing wakeups once the benchmark is done, ie: [Run 1]: Requeued 1024 of 1024 threads in 0.3290 ms perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (135/1024) This bug, while perhaps suggesting missing wakeups in kernel futex code, is merely a consequence of the crappy FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE man page, incorrectly mentioning that the number of requeued tasks is in fact returned, not the wakeups. This patch acknowledges this and updates the corresponding futex_wake code around it.
