[patch 12/31] futex: PI state locking fix

[Greg KH]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx>

Testing of -rt by IBM uncovered a locking bug in wake_futex_pi(): the PI
state needs to be locked before we access it.
