mm: use do_futex() instead of sys_futex() in mm_release()
sys_futex() is a wrapper to do_futex() which does not modify any values here: - uaddr, val and val3 are kept the same - op is masked with FUTEX_CMD_MASK, but is always set to FUTEX_WAKE. Therefore, val2 is always 0. - as utime is set to NULL, *timeout is NULL This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
