ny subsequeuent futex wakeups, resulting in a userspace hang. By moving the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE to before the call to queue_me(), the race with the waker is eliminated. Since we no longer call get_user() from within queue_me(), there is no need to delay the setting of TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE until after the call to queue_me(). The FUTEX_LOCK_PI operation is not affected as futex_lock_pi() relies entirely on the rtmutex code to handle schedule() and wakeup. The requeue PI code is affected because the waiter starts as a non-PI waiter and is woken on a PI futex. Remove the crusty old comment about holding spinlocks() across get_user() as we no longer do that. Correct the locking statement with a description of why the test is performed.
