Ben Wolsieffer 90b263db85 futex: Don't include process MM in futex key on no-MMU
[ Upstream commit c73801ae4f ]

On no-MMU, all futexes are treated as private because there is no need
to map a virtual address to physical to match the futex across
processes. This doesn't quite work though, because private futexes
include the current process's mm_struct as part of their key. This makes
it impossible for one process to wake up a shared futex being waited on
in another process.

Fix this bug by excluding the mm_struct from the key. With
a single address space, the futex address is already a unique key.
