[PATCH 5/6] uapi: futex: Add a futex waitv syscall

[Alistair Francis]

From: Alistair Francis <alistair.francis at wdc.com>

This commit adds a futex waitv syscall wrapper that is exposed to
userspace.

Neither the kernel or glibc currently expose a futex wrapper, so
userspace is left performing raw syscalls. As the futex_waitv syscall
always expects a 64-bit time_t this can be tricky for 32-bit systems to
get correct.

In order to avoid userspace incorrectly passing the wrong timeouts let's
expose a public helper function that ensures the kernel is passed the
correct timeout struct.
