[robust-futex-1] futex: robust futex support

Andrew,

	The original code for this patch was supplied by Todd Kneisel.

	Robust futexes provide a locking mechanism that can be shared between
	user mode processes. The major difference between robust futexes and
	regular futexes is that when the owner of a robust futex dies, the
	next task waiting on the futex will be awakened, will get ownership
	of the futex lock, and will receive the error status EOWNERDEAD.

	Robust futexes allow the system to gracefuly continue if an application
	dies while holding a futex, without leaving waiting threads hung or
	requiring the system to be rebooted to clear the hang.

	Robust futexes are structures hung on a linked list on the inode.
	The list is scanned at exit time to find any futexes still held
	by the dying thread.  The structures backing the futex are removed
	when a dentry reference count drops to zero.  The exit path cleans
	up and locked futexes and the dentry reference count handles cleaning
	up robust futex resources.

	This implimentation supports shared pthread_mutexes, pthread_mutexes
	mmapped either in a file or in mmapped anonymous memory.

	Ulrich Drepper has a glibc that handles non-shared (malloc'd
	pthread_mutexes) all in user space.  This patch returns
	-ENOTSHARED from register futex if it is not a shared futex so his
	glibc can handle the non-shared pthread_mutexes without kernel support.

	The structure for robustness has its own slab cache, making
	it easy track how many robust futexes are in the system through
	/proc/slabinfo.
	
	Robust futexes have been tested fairly well in the community using
	realtime-preempt patch, which supports both robust and priority 
	inheriting pthread_mutexes.  There is a simple test suite, originally
	also supplied by Todd Kneisel, that tests basic robustness using
	regular futexes that have robust attribute applied.  They've also
	been tested using the fusyn posix test suite, with minor modifications
	to make the fusyn tests run with the NPTL libraries.
