This bug, while perhaps suggesting missing wakeups in kernel futex
code, is merely a consequence of the crappy FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE man

in fact returned, not the wakeups. This patch acknowledges this
and updates the corresponding futex_wake code around it.

Did you submit an update to fix the crappy man page?
