SE: Ignore FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG of sys_futex

Browse source 
This patch ignores the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG of the sys_futex system call
in SE mode.

With this patch, when sys_futex with the options FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE or
FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE is emulated, the FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG is ignored and
so their behaviours are the regular FUTEX_WAIT and FUTEX_WAKE.

Emulating FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE and FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE as if they were
non-private is safe from a functional point of view. The
FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG does not change the semantics of the futex, it's
just a mechanism to improve performance under certain circunstances
that can be ignored in SE mode.
