futex: catch certain assymetric (get|put)_futex_key calls

Browse source 
Impact: add debug check

Following up on my previous key reference accounting patches, this patch
will catch puts on keys that haven't been "got".  This won't catch nested
get/put mismatches though.

Build and boot tested, with minimal desktop activity and a run of the
open_posix_testsuite in LTP for testing.  No warnings logged.
