Subject: futex: fix init order
From: Thomas Gleixner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
When the futex init code fails to initialize the futex pseudo file system it
returns early without initializing the hash queues. Should the boot succeed
then a futex syscall which tries to enqueue a waiter on the hashqueue will
crash due to the unitilialized plist heads.
Initialize the hash queues before the filesystem.
