From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a97cb0e7b3f4c6297fd857055ae8e895f402f501 upstream. Both Geert and DaveJ reported that the recent futex commit: c1e2f0eaf015 ("futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futex") introduced a problem with setting OWNER_DEAD. We set the bit on an uninitialized variable and then entirely optimize it away as a dead-store. Move the setting of the bit to where it is more useful.
