The rtmutex chain walk can detect such a deadlock and returns EDEADLK which in turn skips the wait/wound mechanism and returns EDEADLK to the caller. That's wrong because both lock chains might get EDEADLK or the wrong waiter would back out. Detect that situation and return 'success' in case that the waiter which initiated the chain walk is a ww_mutex with context. This allows the wait/wound mechanics to resolve the situation according to the rules.
