[patch V5 10/12] futex: Convert to get/put_user_inline()

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at linutronix.de>

Replace the open coded implementation with the new get/put_user_inline()
helpers. This might be replaced by a regular get/put_user(), but that needs
a proper performance evaluation.

No functional change intended
