futex: Introduce futex_q_lockptr_lock()

futex_lock_pi() and __fixup_pi_state_owner() acquire the
futex_q::lock_ptr without holding a reference assuming the previously
obtained hash bucket and the assigned lock_ptr are still valid. This
isn't the case once the private hash can be resized and becomes invalid
after the reference drop.

Introduce futex_q_lockptr_lock() to lock the hash bucket recorded in
futex_q::lock_ptr. The lock pointer is read in a RCU section to ensure
that it does not go away if the hash bucket has been replaced and the
old pointer has been observed. After locking the pointer needs to be
compared to check if it changed. If so then the hash bucket has been
replaced and the user has been moved to the new one and lock_ptr has
been updated. The lock operation needs to be redone in this case.

The locked hash bucket is not returned.

A special case is an early return in futex_lock_pi() (due to signal or
timeout) and a successful futex_wait_requeue_pi(). In both cases a valid
futex_q::lock_ptr is expected (and its matching hash bucket) but since
the waiter has been removed from the hash this can no longer be
guaranteed. Therefore before the waiter is removed and a reference is
acquired which is later dropped by the waiter to avoid a resize.

Add futex_q_lockptr_lock() and use it.
Acquire an additional reference in requeue_pi_wake_futex() and
futex_unlock_pi() while the futex_q is removed, denote this extra
reference in futex_q::drop_hb_ref and let the waiter drop the reference
in this case.
