[S390,PPC] Implement FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET for timedwait functions
Since the FUTEX_WAIT operation takes a relative timeout, the
pthread_cond_timedwait and other timed function implementations have
to get a relative timeout from the absolute timeout parameter it gets
before it makes the futex syscall.  This value is then converted back
into an absolute timeout within the kernel.  This is a waste and has
hence been improved upon by a FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET operation (OR'd with
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME to make the kernel use the realtime clock instead
of the default monotonic clock).  This was implemented only in the x86
and sh assembly code and not in the C code.  This patch implements
support for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET whenever available (since linux-2.6.29)
for s390 and powerpc.
