futex: documentation: fix inconsistent description of futex list_op_pending
Strictly speaking list_op_pending points to the 'lock entry', not the
'lock word' (which is actually at 'offset' from 'lock entry'). We can
infer this based on reading the code in kernel/futex.c:
struct robust_list __user *entry, *next_entry, *pending;
...
if (fetch_robust_entry(&pending, &head->list_op_pending, &pip))
return;
...
if (pending)
handle_futex_death((void __user *)pending + futex_offset,
curr, pip);
Which is also consistent with the rest of the docs on robust futex lists.
