futex_requeue_pi optimization
This patch provides the futex_requeue_pi functionality, which allows some
threads waiting on a normal futex to be requeued on the wait-queue of a
PI-futex.
This provides an optimization, already used for (normal) futexes, to be used
with the PI-futexes.
This optimization is currently used by the glibc in pthread_broadcast, when
using "normal" mutexes. With futex_requeue_pi, it can be used with
PRIO_INHERIT mutexes too.
