From: ZhangXiaoxu <zhangxiaoxu5@xxxxxxxxxx> The upstram commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement for lock_page() in get_futex_key()") use variable 'page' as the page head, when merge it to stable branch, the variable `page_head` is page head. In the stable branch, the variable `page` not means the page head, when lock the page head, we should lock 'page_head', rather than 'page'. It maybe lead a hung task problem.
