futex: Change locking rules
Currently futex-pi relies on hb->lock to serialize everything. But hb->lock
creates another set of problems, especially priority inversions on RT where
hb->lock becomes a rt_mutex itself.
The rt_mutex::wait_lock is the most obvious protection for keeping the
futex user space value and the kernel internal pi_state in sync.
Rework and document the locking so rt_mutex::wait_lock is held accross all
operations which modify the user space value and the pi state.
This allows to invoke rt_mutex_unlock() (including deboost) without holding
hb->lock as a next step.
Nothing yet relies on the new locking rules.
