Make futex_wait() use an hrtimer for timeout

This patch modifies futex_wait() to use an hrtimer + schedule() in place of
schedule_timeout().

schedule_timeout() is tick based, therefore the timeout granularity is the
tick (1 ms, 4 ms or 10 ms depending on HZ).  By using a high resolution timer
for timeout wakeup, we can attain a much finer timeout granularity (in the
microsecond range).  This parallels what is already done for futex_lock_pi().

The timeout passed to the syscall is no longer converted to jiffies and is
therefore passed to do_futex() and futex_wait() as an absolute ktime_t
therefore keeping nanosecond resolution.

Also this removes the need to pass the nanoseconds timeout part to
futex_lock_pi() in val2.

In futex_wait(), if there is no timeout then a regular schedule() is
performed.  Otherwise, an hrtimer is fired before schedule() is called.
