    futex: Don't include process MM in futex key on no-MMU
    
    [ Upstream commit c73801ae4f22b390228ebf471d55668e824198b6 ]
    
    On no-MMU, all futexes are treated as private because there is no need
    to map a virtual address to physical to match the futex across
    processes. This doesn't quite work though, because private futexes
    include the current process's mm_struct as part of their key. This makes
    it impossible for one process to wake up a shared futex being waited on
    in another process.
    
    Fix this bug by excluding the mm_struct from the key. With
    a single address space, the futex address is already a unique key.
