    Handle EAGAIN from FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI

Has been reported as causing numerous problems in Fedora & Debian. I
don't think anyone has done any serious analysis of the issue, but the
patch has been pulled from both distributions because of the
instability it's introduced.

It might be worth your time to dig further into the change or pull it
from 2.15 pending a deeper investigation.
