I think so. We leak key references in some of the error/retry code
pathes. Darrens patch does not apply to mainline. Backport below.

Subject: futex: fix key reference leaks

Impact: bugfix

futex_wake_op, futex_requeue, futex_lock_pi and futex_unlock_pi still
had some bad (get|put)_futex_key() usage. This patch adds the missing
put_futex_keys() and corrects a goto in futex_lock_pi() to avoid a
double get.

[ tglx: backport to mainline ]
