futex: Temporary disable FUTEX_PRIVATE_HASH
Chris Mason reported a performance regression on big iron. Reports of this kind were usually reported as part of a micro benchmark but Chris' test did mimic his real workload. This makes it a real regression. The root cause is rcuref_get() which is invoked during each futex operation. If all threads of an application do this simultaneously then it leads to cache line bouncing and the performance drops. Disable FUTEX_PRIVATE_HASH entirely for this cycle. The performance regression will be addressed in the following cycle enabling the option again.
