3.12.38-rt53-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
With task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() returning early -EDEADLK we never add the
waiter to the waitqueue. Later, we try to remove it via remove_waiter()
and go boom in rt_mutex_top_waiter() because rb_entry() gives a NULL
pointer.
Tested on v3.18-RT where rtmutex is used for regular mutex and I tried
to get one twice in a row.
Not sure when this started but I guess 397335f00 ("rtmutex: Fix deadlock
detector for real") or commit 3d5c9340 ("rtmutex: Handle deadlock
detection smarter").
