Apologies, mangled a rebase and this patch had bits of 4/4 in it.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4 V2] futex: free_pi_state outside of hb->lock sections

free_pi_state() calls kfree() and might sleep. To prepare for raw hb->locks,
get the calls to free_pi_state() out of the hb->lock() sections.

This is why I always add a space before labels. I have no idea what
function this was in.

-				free_pi_state(pi_state);

Where do we free the pi state here?

Near the end after goto out_unlock which falls through to the out: label. In this case I didn't move it, it just wasn't necessary.

out:
	if (pi_state != NULL)
		free_pi_state(pi_state);
