locking/rtmutex: Avoid a NULL pointer dereference on deadlock
commit 8d1e5a1a1ccf5ae9d8a5a0ee7960202ccb0c5429 upstream.
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 397335f004f4 ("rtmutex: Fix
deadlock detector for real") or commit 3d5c9340d194 ("rtmutex:
Handle deadlock detection smarter").
