In preparation for having another waker that isn't futex_wake_mark(), add a wake handler in futex_q. No extra data is associated with the handler outside of struct futex_q itself. futex_wake_mark() is defined as the standard wakeup helper, now set through futex_q_init like other defaults. Normal sync futex waiting relies on wake_q holding tasks that should be woken up. This is what futex_wake_mark() does, it'll unqueue the futex and add the associated task to the wake queue. For async usage of futex waiting, rather than having tasks sleeping on the futex, we'll need to deal with a futex wake differently. For the planned io_uring case, that means posting a completion event for the task in question. Having a definable wake handler can help support that use case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
