futex: Fix might_sleep() warning in futex_pivot_pending()
A younger me put a WARN in might_sleep() to warn about nested sleep loops. This younger me also build a wait-loop variant that can deal with it. This wait-loop variant doesn't have all the fancy wrappers, since it isn't used much. It also lacks wait-bit support. Add the wait-bit support and use it to fix the nested wait issue. Fixes: 8e7ff730dd96 ("futex: Fix race in futex_pivot_pending() during private hash resize") Reported-by: syzbot+350a93852ac854927f45@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260820074927.GH1246887@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=350a93852ac854927f45
