With your patch the kernel warning doesn't occur anymore. So if this
is supposed to be the fix feel free to add:

Tested-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>


However now I see every now and then the following failure from the
same test case:

tst-robustpi8: ../nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c:425: __pthread_mutex_lock_full: Assertion `INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERRNO (e, __err) != ESRCH || !robust' failed.

		/* ESRCH can happen only for non-robust PI mutexes where
		   the owner of the lock died.	*/
		assert (INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERRNO (e, __err) != ESRCH || !robust);

I just verified that this happened also without your patch, I just
didn't see it since I started my tests with panic_on_warn=1 and the
warning triggered always earlier.
So, this seems to be something different.
