[PATCH] pi-futex: fix mm_struct memory leak
lock_queue was getting called essentially twice in a row and was continually incrementing the mm_count ref count, thus causing a memory leak. Dinakar Guniguntala provided a proper fix for the problem that simply grabs the spinlock for the hash bucket queue rather than calling lock_queue. The second time we do a queue_lock in futex_lock_pi, we really only need to take the hash bucket lock.
