    Impact: cleanup
    
    Older versions of the futex code held the mmap_sem which had to
    be dropped in order to call get_user(), so a two-pronged fault
    handling mechanism was employed to handle faults of the atomic
    operations.  The mmap_sem is no longer held, so get_user()
    should be adequate.  This patch greatly simplifies the logic and
    improves legibility.
    
    Build and boot tested on a 4 way Intel x86_64 workstation.
    Passes basic pthread_mutex and PI tests out of
    ltp/testcases/realtime.
