    futex: unlock before returning -EFAULT

    Impact: rt-mutex failure case fix

    futex_lock_pi can potentially return -EFAULT with the rt_mutex
    held. This seems like the wrong thing to do as userspace should
    assume -EFAULT means the lock was not taken. Even if it could
    figure this out, we'd be leaving the pi_state->owner in an
    inconsistent state. This patch unlocks the rt_mutex prior to
    returning -EFAULT to userspace.

    Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation.
    Passes basic pthread_mutex and PI tests out of
    ltp/testcases/realtime.
