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.

This does not apply to the 4.9.y tree at all right now, are you all sure
you got the backport correct?
confused,

.
I make the patch basing on 282aeb477a10 ("Linux 4.9.257").
Should I base on f0cf73f13b39 ("Linux 4.9.258-rc1")?
