When running some ptrace single step tests on x86-32 machine, the below problem is triggered: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at linux-rt/kernel/locking/rtmutex.c:917 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 1041, name: dummy2 INFO: lockdep is turned off.

However, x86-32 does not have an IST and the stack still belongs to the current task and there is no problem in scheduling out the task.
