futex: add helper to find the top prio waiter of a futex
Improve legibility by wrapping finding the top waiter in a function. This will be used by the follow-on patches for enabling requeue pi. Signed-off-by: Darren Hart <dvhltc@us.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
