No objection.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] rtmutex: add WARN_ON if a task attempts to block on two locks

rtmutex proxy locking complicates the logic a bit and opens up
the possibility for a task to wake and attempt to take another
sleeping lock without knowing it has been enqueued on another
lock already. Add a WARN_ON to catch this scenario early.

V2: use a WARN_ON instead of a BUG_ON per Steven's request.
