futex: rely on get_user_pages() for shared futexes

However does a futex change make ext3 crap its pants?

Is there anything more to it than start the machine, and reboot?

Just system startup and reboot is enough to reproduce the problem. And 100%
reproducible. So, does seem to be any timing involved either.

That's very odd indeed, non of my test systems nor Ingo's ever triggered
this, and that patch has been in -tip for a rather long time.

That's 3.5 months of test time.. most curious. What kind of userland do
you have that triggers this?
