[PATCH] Remove Futex Warning
If we're waiting on a futex and we are woken up, it's either because someone did FUTEX_WAKE, we timed out, or have been signalled. However, the WARN_ON(!signal_pending(current)) test is overzealous: with threads (a common use of futexes), we share the signal handler and the other thread might get to the signal before us. In addition, exit_notify() can do a recalc_sigpending_tsk() on us, which will then clear our TIF_SIGPENDING bit, making signal_pending(current) return false. Returning EINTR is a little strange in this case, since this thread hasn't handled a signal. However, with threads it's the best we can do: there's always a race where another thread could have been the actual one to handle the signal.
