futex: fix irq self-deadlock and satisfy assertion

This patch and problem analysis is specific for 4.4 LTS, due to incomplete
backporting of other fixes. Later LTS series have different backports.

Since v4.4.257 when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y
the following triggers right after reboot of our pre-life systems
which equal our production setup:

Bisecting detects 47e452fcf2f
in the above specific scenario using apache-ssl,
but apparently the missing *_irq() was introduced in
34c8e1c2c02.

However, just reverting the old _irq() variants to a similar status
than before 34c8e1c2c02,
or using _irqsave() / _irqrestore() as some other backports are doing
in various places, would not really help.

The fundamental problem is the following violation of the assertion
lockdep_assert_held(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock) in pi_state_update_owner():

In order to both (1) prevent the self-deadlock, and (2) to satisfy the assertion
at pi_state_update_owner(), some locking with irq disable is needed,
at least in the specific call stack.

Interestingly, there existed a suchalike locking just before
f08a4af5ccb.

This is just a quick hotfix, resurrecting some previous
locks at the old places, but now using ->wait_lock in place
of the previous ->pi_lock (which was in place before
f08a4af5ccb).

The ->pi_lock is now also taken, by the new code
which had been introduced in
34c8e1c2c02.

When this patch is applied, both the above splats are
no longer triggering at my prelife machines.

Without this patch, I cannot ensure stable production at
1&1 Ionos.

Hint for further work: I have not yet tested other call paths,
since I am under time pressure for security reasons.

Hint for further hardening of 4.4.y and probably some more LTS series:
Probably some more systematic testing with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
(and probably some more options) should be invested
in order to make the 4.4 LTS series really "stable" again.
