From: Darren Hart <dvhltc@xxxxxxxxxx>
If futex_requeue(requeue_pi=1) finds a futex_q that was created by a call
other than futex_wait_requeue_pi(), the q.rt_waiter will be null. If so,
this will result in an oops from the following call graph:
futex_requeue()
rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock()
task_blocks_on_rt_mutex()
waiter->task dereference
OOPS
We currently WARN_ON() if this is detected, clearly this is inadequate.
If we detect a mis-pairing in futex_requeue(), bail out, sending -EINVAL
to user-space.
