ipc/mqueue: Add a critical section to avoid a deadlock
(Repost for v3.0-rt1 and changed the distination addreses)
I have tested the following patch on v3.0-rt1 with PREEMPT_RT_FULL.
In POSIX message queue, if a sender process uses SCHED_FIFO and
has a higher priority than a receiver process, the sender will
be stuck at ipc/mqueue.c:452
452 while (ewp->state == STATE_PENDING)
453 cpu_relax();
Description of the problem
(receiver process)
1. receiver changes sender's state to STATE_PENDING (mqueue.c:846)
2. wake up sender process and "switch to sender" (mqueue.c:847)
Note: This context switch only happens in PREEMPT_RT_FULL kernel.
(sender process)
3. sender check the own state in above loop (mqueue.c:452-453)
*. receiver will never wake up and cannot change sender's state to
STATE_READY because sender has higher priority
