Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 5e601ab361 futex: Optimise the size check get_futex_key()
The futex address must be naturally aligned and this is checked via
"address % size" where `address' is the supplied address and `size' is
the expected size of futex. It is guaranteed that `size' is power of two
but the compiler does not see it and creates here a `div' operation
(x86, arm, gcc-15).

We can take advantage of the pow2 property and rewrite it as
"address & (size-1)".

As per testing, the command
|perf bench futex hash -f 1 -b 16384 -t 1 -r 30

improved from
