[PATCH] futex: Temporary disable FUTEX_PRIVATE_HASH

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>]

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.
