futex,plist: Pass the real head of the priority list to plist_del()

Some plist_del()s in kernel/futex.c are passed a faked head of the
priority list.

It does not fail because the current code does not require the real head
in plist_del(). The current code of plist_del() just uses the head for checking,
so it will not cause a bad result even when we use a faked head.

But it is undocumented usage:

/**
* plist_del - Remove a @node from plist.
*
* @node: &struct plist_node pointer - entry to be removed
* @head: &struct plist_head pointer - list head
*/

The document says that the @head is the "list head" head of the priority list.

In futex code, several places use "plist_del(&q->list, &q->list.plist);",
they pass a fake head. We need to fix them all.

Thanks to Darren Hart for many suggestions.
