futex: Lower the lock contention on the HB lock during wake up
wake_futex_pi() wakes the task before releasing the hash bucket lock (HB). The first thing the woken up task usually does is to acquire the lock which requires the HB lock. On SMP Systems this leads to blocking on the HB lock which is released by the owner shortly after. This patch rearranges the unlock path by first releasing the HB lock and then waking up the task.
