Subject: [PATCH v2 01/14] futex: Clarify FUTEX2 flags

sys_futex_waitv() is part of the futex2 series (the first and only so
far) of syscalls and has a flags field per futex (as opposed to flags
being encoded in the futex op).

This new flags field has a new namespace, which unfortunately isn't
super explicit. Notably it currently takes FUTEX_32 and
FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG.

Introduce the FUTEX2 namespace to clarify this
