Modified Files:
        src/sys/kern: sys_futex.c

Log Message:
Make sure futex waits never return ERESTART.

If the user had passed in a relative timeout, this would have the
effect of waiting for the full relative time repeatedly, without
regard for how much time had elapsed during the wait before a signal.

In principle this may not be necessary for absolute timeouts or
indefinite timeouts, but it's not clear there's an advantage; we do
the same for various other syscalls like nanosleep.

Perhaps in the future we can arrange to keep the state of how much
time had elapsed when we restart like Linux does, but that's a much
more ambitious change.
