You can't do very much. The futex holder has probably damaged some
data. The only thing you could do is to kill all current and future
waiters too. But the "future waiters" is difficult. The process
may hold other locks the kernel does not know anything about.
The only thing one could do is to kill all processes that share a
MAP_SEM page with a dying process.
