rtmutex: Avoid deadlock in rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock()
In the event of a lock steal or owner died,
rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() will give the rt_mutex to the
waiting task, but it fails to release the wait_lock. This leads
to subsequent deadlocks when other tasks try to acquire the
rt_mutex.
I also removed a few extra blank lines that really spaced this
routine out. I must have been high on the \n when I wrote this
originally...
