arm64: futex: Avoid copying out uninitialised stack in failed cmpxchg()
commit 8e4e0ac02b449297b86498ac24db5786ddd9f647 upstream. Returning an error code from futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() indicates that the caller should not make any use of *uval, and should instead act upon on the value of the error code. Although this is implemented correctly in our futex code, we needlessly copy uninitialised stack to *uval in the error case, which can easily be avoided.
