futex: Provide distinct return value when owner is exiting
attach_to_pi_owner() returns -EAGAIN for various cases:
- Owner task is exiting
- Futex value has changed
The caller drops the held locks (hash bucket, mmap_sem) and retries the
operation. In case of the owner task exiting this can result in a live
lock.
As a preparatory step for seperating those cases, provide a distinct return
value (EBUSY) for the owner exiting case.
No functional change.
