futex: Fix futex lock the wrong page

Browse Source 
The upstram commit 65d8fc777f6d ("futex: Remove requirement
for lock_page() in get_futex_key()") use variable 'page' as
the page head, when merge it to stable branch, the variable
`page_head` is page head.

In the stable branch, the variable `page` not means the page
head, when lock the page head, we should lock 'page_head',
rather than 'page'.

It maybe lead a hung task problem.
