futexes: Fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() on huge page
get_futex_key() can infinitely loop if it is called on a virtual address that is within a huge page but not aligned to the beginning of that page. The call to get_user_pages_fast will return the struct page for a sub-page within the huge page and the check for page->mapping will always fail. The fix is to call compound_head on the page before checking that it's mapped.
