locking/rtmutex: Avoid a NULL pointer dereference on deadlock
commit 8d1e5a1a upstream. With task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returning early -EDEADLK we never add the waiter to the waitqueue. Later, we try to remove it via remove_waiter() and go boom in rt_mutex_top_waiter() because rb_entry() gives a NULL pointer. ( Tested on v3.18-RT where rtmutex is used for regular mutex and I tried to get one twice in a row. ) Not sure when this started but I guess 397335f0 ("rtmutex: Fix deadlock detector for real") or commit 3d5c9340 ("rtmutex: Handle deadlock detection smarter").
