futex: Initialize futex_phash_new during fork().
During a hash resize operation the new private hash is stored in mm_struct::futex_phash_new if the current hash can not be immediately replaced. The new hash must not be copied during fork() into the new task. Doing so will lead to a double-free of the memory by the two tasks. Initialize the mm_struct::futex_phash_new during fork().
