futex: Allow to make the private hash immutable



My initial testing showed that:

	perf bench futex hash

reported less operations/sec with private hash. After using the same
amount of buckets in the private hash as used by the global hash then
the operations/sec were about the same.

This changed once the private hash became resizable. This feature added
an RCU section and reference counting via atomic inc+dec operation into
the hot path.
The reference counting can be avoided if the private hash is made
immutable.
Extend PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS by a fourth argument which denotes if the
private should be made immutable. Once set (to true) the a further
resize is not allowed (same if set to global hash).
Add PR_FUTEX_HASH_GET_IMMUTABLE which returns true if the hash can not
be changed.
Update "perf bench" suite.

For comparison, results of "perf bench futex hash -s":
- Xeon CPU E5-2650, 2 NUMA nodes, total 32 CPUs:
  - Before the introducing task local hash
    shared  Averaged 1.487.148 operations/sec (+- 0,53%), total secs = 10
    private Averaged 2.192.405 operations/sec (+- 0,07%), total secs = 10

  - With the series
    shared  Averaged 1.326.342 operations/sec (+- 0,41%), total secs = 10
    -b128   Averaged   141.394 operations/sec (+- 1,15%), total secs = 10
    -Ib128  Averaged   851.490 operations/sec (+- 0,67%), total secs = 10
    -b8192  Averaged   131.321 operations/sec (+- 2,13%), total secs = 10
    -Ib8192 Averaged 1.923.077 operations/sec (+- 0,61%), total secs = 10
    128 is the default allocation of hash buckets.
    8192 was the previous amount of allocated hash buckets.

- Xeon(R) CPU E7-8890 v3, 4 NUMA nodes, total 144 CPUs:
  - Before the introducing task local hash
    shared   Averaged 1.810.936 operations/sec (+- 0,26%), total secs = 20
    private  Averaged 2.505.801 operations/sec (+- 0,05%), total secs = 20

  - With the series
    shared   Averaged 1.589.002 operations/sec (+- 0,25%), total secs = 20

    -Ib65536 Averaged 1.963.165 operations/sec (+- 0,18%), total secs = 20
    1024 is the default allocation of hash buckets.
    65536 was the previous amount of allocated hash buckets.
