Subject: [PATCH v2] locking/rtmutex: Handle non enqueued waiters gracefully
 in remove_waiter()

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

In -RT task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() may return with -EAGAIN due to
(->pi_blocked_on == PI_WAKEUP_INPROGRESS) before it added itself as a
waiter. In such a case we must not call remove_waiter() because without
a waiter it will trigger the BUG_ON() statement.

This was initially reported by Yimin Deng. Thomas Gleixner fixed it then
with an explicit check for waiters before calling remove_waiter().
Instead of an explicit check before calling rt_mutex_top_waiter() we
could make it return NULL if there are no waiters.

Now that it is possible to call remove_waiter() unconditionally I also
remove that check from rt_mutex_slowlock().
