    futex: make clock selectable for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET · 1acdac10

    FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET could be used instead of FUTEX_WAIT by setting the
    bit set to FUTEX_BITSET_MATCH_ANY, but FUTEX_WAIT uses CLOCK_REALTIME
    while FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
    
    Add a flag to select CLOCK_REALTIME for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET so glibc can
    replace the FUTEX_WAIT logic which needs to do gettimeofday() calls
    before and after the syscall to convert the absolute timeout to a
    relative timeout for FUTEX_WAIT.
