futexes: Fix infinite loop in get_futex_key() on huge page

get_futex_key() can infinitely loop if it is called on a
virtual address that is within a huge page but not aligned to
the beginning of that page.  The call to get_user_pages_fast
will return the struct page for a sub-page within the huge page
and the check for page->mapping will always fail.

The fix is to call compound_head on the page before checking
that it's mapped.
