Damn, this slipped through my attention completely. Hotfix (which can
be easily backported) below.

Subject: futex: disable PI/robust on archs w/o valid implementation
From: Thomas Gleixner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

We have to disable the complete PI/robust functionality for those
archs, which do not implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The
code in question relies on a valid implementation and does not expect
-ENOSYS, which is returned by the stub implementation in
asm-generic/futex.h

Pointed out by: Mikael Pettersson, Riku Voipio and Adrian Bunk

This patch is intended for easy backporting and needs to be cleaned up
further for current mainline.
