futex: remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI (non CMP)

Browse source 
The new requeue PI futex op codes were modeled after the existing
FUTEX_REQUEUE and FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE calls.  I was unaware at the time
that FUTEX_REQUEUE was only around for compatibility reasons and
shouldn't be used in new code.  Ulrich Drepper elaborates on this in his
Futexes are Tricky paper: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/futex.pdf.
The deprecated call doesn't catch changes to the futex corresponding to
the destination futex which can lead to deadlock.

Therefor, I feel it best to remove FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI and leave only
FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI as there are not yet any existing users of the API.
This patch does change the OP code value of FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI to 12
from 13.  Since my test case is the only known user of this API, I felt
this was the right thing to do, rather than leave a hole in the
enumeration.

I chose to continue using the _CMP_ modifier in the OP code to make it
explicit to the user that the test is being done.

Builds, boots, and ran several hundred iterations requeue_pi.c.
