Subject[patch 32/76] futex: fix init order
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

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.
