futex: Prevent inconsistent state and exit race

The recent rework of the requeue PI code introduced a possibility for
going back to user space in inconsistent state:

CPU 0				CPU 1

requeue_futex()
  if (lock_pifutex_user()) {
      dequeue_waiter();
      wake_waiter(task);
				sched_in(task);
     				return_from_futex_syscall();

  ---> Inconsistent state because PI state is not established

It becomes worse if the woken up task immediately exits:

				sys_exit();
				
      attach_pistate(vpid);	<--- FAIL


Attach the pi state before dequeuing and waking the waiter. If the waiter
gets a spurious wakeup before the dequeue operation it will wait in
futex_requeue_pi_wakeup_sync() and therefore cannot return and exit.
