Thomas Gleixner 4f07ec0d76 futex: Prevent inconsistent state and exit race
The recent rework of the requeue PI code introduced a possibility for
going back to user space in inconsistent state:

CPU 0				CPU 1

requeue_futex()
  if (lock_pifutex_user()) {
      dequeue_waiter();
      wake_waiter(task);
				sched_in(task);
     				return_from_futex_syscall();

  ---> Inconsistent state because PI state is not established

It becomes worse if the woken up task immediately exits:

				sys_exit();
				
      attach_pistate(vpid);	<--- FAIL


Attach the pi state before dequeuing and waking the waiter. If the waiter
gets a spurious wakeup before the dequeue operation it will wait in
futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync() and therefore cannot return and exit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
