Inaky, In the futex_requeue(), the unpin_page(this->page) should go in 
the "else" part. Because for the "if" part, where it wakes up the
waiter,
this->page==page1 and at the end it unpins page1 anyway. So, it will
unpin 
twice the same page. This unpin is needed for the requeue part before it
pins page2.
