Subject: [PATCH] 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.
