locking/rtmutex: Set state back to running on error

The "usual" path is:

 - rt_mutex_slowlock()
 - set_current_state()
 - task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() (ret 0)
 - __rt_mutex_slowlock()
   - sleep or not but do return with __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)
 - back to caller.

In the early error case where task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() return
-EDEADLK we never change the task's state back to RUNNING. I
assume this is intended. Without this change after ww_mutex
using rt_mutex the selftest passes but later I get plenty of:

  | bad: scheduling from the idle thread!

backtraces.
