[PATCH] FUTEX: Restore the dropped ERSCH fix
The return value of futex_find_get_task() needs to be -ESRCH in case
that the search fails. This was part of the original futex fixes and
got accidentally dropped, when the futex-tidy-up patch was split out.
Results in a NULL pointer dereference in case the search fails.
Restore it.
