Subject: [PATCH] futex: Check for NULL keys in match_futex
If userspace tries to perform a requeue_pi on a non-requeue_pi waiter,
it will find the futex_q->requeue_pi_key to be NULL and OOPS.
Check for NULL in match_futex() instead of doing explicit NULL pointer
checks on all call sites. While match_futex(NULL, NULL) returning
false is a little odd, it's still correct as we expect valid key
references.
