Currently restart is only used if there is a timeout. The requeue_pi
functionality requires restarting to futex_lock_pi() on signal after
wakeup in futex_wait_requeue_pi() regardless of if there was a timeout
or not. Using 0 for the timeout value is confusing as that could
indicate an expired timer. The flag makes this explicit. While the
check is not technically needed in futex_wait_restart(), doing so
makes the code consistent with and will avoid confusion should the
need arise to restart wait without a timeout.
