futex: Fix spurious wakeup for requeue_pi really
commit 11df6dddcbc38affb7473aad3d962baf8414a947 upstream.
The requeue_pi path doesn't use unqueue_me() (and the racy lock_ptr ==
NULL test) nor does it use the wake_list of futex_wake() which where
the reason for commit 41890f2 (futex: Handle spurious wake up)
See debugging discussing on LKML Message-ID: <4AD4080C.20703@us.ibm.com>
The changes in this fix to the wait_requeue_pi path were considered to
be a likely unecessary, but harmless safety net. But it turns out that
due to the fact that for unknown $@#!*( reasons EWOULDBLOCK is defined
as EAGAIN we built an endless loop in the code path which returns
correctly EWOULDBLOCK.
Spurious wakeups in wait_requeue_pi code path are unlikely so we do
the easy solution and return EWOULDBLOCK^WEAGAIN to user space and let
it deal with the spurious wakeup.
