futexes: Fix futex_hashsize initialization

Browse Source 
"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.
