futexes: Fix futex_hashsize initialization
"futexes: Increase hash table size for better performance" introduces a new alloc_large_system_hash() call. alloc_large_system_hash() however may allocate less memory than requested, e.g. limited by MAX_ORDER. Hence pass a pointer to alloc_large_system_hash() which will contain the hash shift when the function returns. Afterwards correctly set futex_hashsize. Fixes a crash on s390 where the requested allocation size was 4MB but only 1MB was allocated.
