Subject: [PATCH] arm64: futex: Bound number of LDXR/STXR loops in
 FUTEX_WAKE_OP

Our futex implementation makes use of LDXR/STXR loops to perform atomic
updates to user memory from atomic context. This can lead to latency
problems if we end up spinning around the LL/SC sequence at the expense
of doing something useful.

Rework our futex atomic operations so that we return -EAGAIN if we fail
to update the futex word after 128 attempts. The core futex code will
reschedule if necessary and we'll try again later.
