futex: Prevent attaching to kernel threads
commit f0d71b3dcb8332f7971b5f2363632573e6d9486a upstream. We happily allow userspace to declare a random kernel thread to be the owner of a user space PI futex. Found while analysing the fallout of Dave Jones syscall fuzzer. We also should validate the thread group for private futexes and find some fast way to validate whether the "alleged" owner has RW access on the file which backs the SHM, but that's a separate issue.
