futex_wait_setup() first tries to read the user value with page faults
disabled (because it holds a lock, and so cannot sleep). If that read
fails it drops the lock and tries again.
But there are now two reasons why the user space read can fail. Either:
1) legacy case of a page fault, in which case it is reasonable to retry
2) machine check on the user address, bad idea to re-read
Check for the ENXIO return code from the first get_user() call and
immediately return an error without re-reading the futex.
