SYNOPSIS

int futex_proxy_trylock_atomic(u32 __user * pifutex, struct futex_hash_bucket * hb1, struct futex_hash_bucket * hb2, union futex_key * key1, union futex_key * key2, struct futex_pi_state ** ps, int set_waiters);

Try and get the lock on behalf of the top waiter if we can do it atomically. Wake the top waiter if we succeed. If the caller specified set_waiters, then direct futex_lock_pi_atomic to force setting the FUTEX_WAITERS bit. hb1 and hb2 must be held by the caller.
