Thomas Gleixner cd689985cf futex: Add bitset conditional wait/wakeup functionality
To allow the implementation of optimized rw-locks in user space, glibc
needs a possibility to select waiters for wakeup depending on a bitset
mask.

This requires two new futex OPs: FUTEX_WAIT_BITS and FUTEX_WAKE_BITS
These OPs are basically the same as FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE plus an
additional argument - a bitset. Further the FUTEX_WAIT_BITS OP is
expecting an absolute timeout value instead of the relative one, which
is used for the FUTEX_WAIT OP.

FUTEX_WAIT_BITS calls into the kernel with a bitset. The bitset is
stored in the futex_q structure, which is used to enqueue the waiter
into the hashed futex waitqueue.

FUTEX_WAKE_BITS also calls into the kernel with a bitset. The wakeup
function logically ANDs the bitset with the bitset stored in each
waiters futex_q structure. If the result is zero (i.e. none of the set
bits in the bitsets is matching), then the waiter is not woken up. If
the result is not zero (i.e. one of the set bits in the bitsets is
matching), then the waiter is woken.

The bitset provided by the caller must be non zero. In case the
provided bitset is zero the kernel returns EINVAL.

Internaly the new OPs are only extensions to the existing FUTEX_WAIT
and FUTEX_WAKE functions. The existing OPs hand a bitset with all bits
set into the futex_wait() and futex_wake() functions.
