futex: Deobfuscate handle_futex_death()

handle_futex_death() uses futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() without
disabling page faults. That's ok, but totally non obvious.

We don't hold locks so we actually can and want to fault here, because
the get_user() before futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not
guarantee a R/W mapping.

We could just add a big fat comment to explain this, but actually
changing the code so that the functionality is entirely clear is
better.

Use the helper function which disables page faults around the
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() and handle a fault with a call to
fault_in_user_writeable() as all other places in the futex code do as
well.
