futex: rename field in futex_q to clarify single waiter semantics
Impact: simplify code I've tripped over the naming of this field a couple times. The futex_q uses a "waiters" list to represent a single blocked task and then calles wake_up_all(). This can lead to confusion in trying to understand the intent of the code, which is to have a single futex_q for every task waiting on a futex. This patch corrects the problem, using a single pointer to the waiting task, and an appropriate call to wake_up, rather than wake_up_all. Compile and boot tested on an 8way x86_64 machine.
