futex: Resend potentially swallowed owner death notification
Commit ca16d5be ("futex: Prevent robust futex exit race") addressed two cases when tasks waiting on a robust non-PI futex remained blocked despite the futex not being owned anymore: * if the owner died after writing zero to the futex word, but before waking up a waiter * if a task waiting on the futex was woken up, but died before updating the futex word (effectively swallowing the notification without acting on it) In the second case, the task could be woken up either by the previous owner (after the futex word was reset to zero) or by the kernel (after the OWNER_DIED bit was set and the TID part of the futex word was reset to zero) if the previous owner died without the resetting the futex. Because the referenced commit wakes up a potential waiter only if the whole futex word is zero, the latter subcase remains unaddressed. Fix this by looking only at the TID part of the futex when deciding whether a wake up is needed.
