4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit b061c38bef43406df8e73c5be06cbfacad5ee6ad ]
We must not rely on wake_q_add() to delay the wakeup; in particular
commit:
1d0dcb3ad9d3 ("futex: Implement lockless wakeups")
moved wake_q_add() before smp_store_release(&q->lock_ptr, NULL), which
could result in futex_wait() waking before observing ->lock_ptr ==
NULL and going back to sleep again.
