Thomas Gleixner 163489b643 futex: Unbreak futex hashing
commit 8d67743653dce5a0e7aa500fcccb237cde7ad88e upstream.

The recent futex inode life time fix changed the ordering of the futex key
union struct members, but forgot to adjust the hash function accordingly,

As a result the hashing omits the leading 64bit and even hashes beyond the
futex key causing a bad hash distribution which led to a ~100% performance
regression.

Hand in the futex key pointer instead of a random struct member and make
the size calculation based of the struct offset.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
