Subject: [PATCH -rt] rtmutex: enable deadlock detection in the ww_mutex_lock
 functions

According the ww-mutex-design.txt documentation,  the ww_mutex_lock_interruptible and ww_mutex_lock functions should return -EDEADLK when faced with a deadlock. To do so, the flag detect_deadlock in the rt_mutex_slowlock calls should be enabled. This patch corrects potential deadlocks when running PREEMPT_RT with nouveau driver.

Kernel v3.14-rt
