[PATCH 0/2] futex: requeue_pi lock steal deadlock fixes

[Darren Hart]

[resend: quilt mail wasn't making it to the lists for some reason]

The following patch series addresses a deadlock and a race related to the
newly introduced requeue_pi futex op codes.  I discovered this while running
I modified version of pthread_cond_many from ltp/testcases/realtime (with a PI
aware mutex) and a patched glibc (for new futex op codes).  These patches fix
the deadlock and close the race window considerably - but not 100%.  My test
case, however, now runs to completion without deadlock, and without triggering
the pi_state related WARN_ON()'s.
