futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
    
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.
