Subject: [PATCH 3/4 V2] futex: free_pi_state outside of hb->lock sections

free_pi_state() calls kfree() and might sleep. To prepare for raw hb->locks,
get the calls to free_pi_state() out of the hb->lock() sections.

Near the end after goto out_unlock which falls through to the out:
label. In this case I didn't move it, it just wasn't necessary.

out:
if (pi_state != NULL)
free_pi_state(pi_state);
