[PATCH 4/4] ntsync: reject wait ioctls with zero owner

Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Iván Ezequiel Rodriguez <[email protected]>

setup_wait() already validates pad and flags but not owner, while
Documentation/userspace-api/ntsync.rst requires EINVAL when owner is
zero. Reject early before queueing waiters.
