    futex: fix restart in wait_requeue_pi · 2070887f

    If the waiter has been requeued to the outer PI futex and is
    interrupted by a signal and the thread handles the signal then
    ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK is changed to EINTR and the restart block is
    discarded. That way we return an unexcpected EINTR to user space
    instead of ending up in futex_lock_pi_restart.
    
    But we do not need to restart the syscall because we know that the
    condition has changed since we have been requeued. If we would simply
    restart the syscall then we would drop out via the comparison of the
    user space value with EWOULDBLOCK.
    
    The user space side needs to handle EWOULDBLOCK anyway as the
    enqueueing on the inner futex can race with a requeue/wake. So we can
    simply return EWOULDBLOCK to user space which also signals that we did
    not take the outer futex and let user space handle it in the same way
    it has to handle the requeue/wake race.
