3.2.68-rt99-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner upstream-commit: 88f2b4c15e561bb5c28709d666364f273bf54b98 Oleg noticed that rtmutex_slowtrylock() has a pointless check for rt_mutex_owner(lock) != current. To avoid calling try_to_take_rtmutex() we really want to check whether the lock has an owner at all or whether the trylock failed because the owner is NULL, but the RT_MUTEX_HAS_WAITERS bit is set. This covers the lock is owned by caller situation as well. We can actually do this check lockless. trylock is taking a chance whether we take lock->wait_lock to do the check or not. Add comments to the function while at it.
