Kernel: Fix futex race that could lead to thread waiting forever
There is a race condition where we would remove a FutexQueue from our futex map and in the meanwhile another thread started to queue itself into that very same futex, leading to that thread to wait forever as no other wake operation could discover that removed FutexQueue. This fixes the problem by: * Tracking imminent waits, which prevents a new FutexQueue from being deleted that a thread will wait on momentarily * Atomically marking a FutexQueue as removed, which prevents a thread from waiting on it before it is actually removed from the futex map.
