Subject: rtmutex-clean-up-and-remove-some-extra-spinlocks-more
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

On top of Steven's rtmutex-clean-up-and-remove-some-extra-spinlocks.patch

There are still 2 get_task_struct()s under ->pi_lock.  Imho, this is
confusing.  Move them outside of ->pi_lock protected section.  The task
can't go away, otherwise it was unsafe to take task->pi_lock.
