------------------------------------------------------
Subject: rt-mutex: fix chain walk early wakeup bug
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Alexey Kuznetsov found some problems in the pi-futex code.
One of the root causes is:
When a wakeup happens, we do not to stop the chain walk so we follow a not
longer relevant locking chain.
Drop out when this happens.
