Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] sched/rtmutex/deadline: Fix a PI crash for deadline tasks

A crash happened while I was playing with deadline PI rtmutex.

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
    IP: [<ffffffff810eeb8f>] rt_mutex_get_top_task+0x1f/0x30

This is because rt_mutex_enqueue_pi() and rt_mutex_dequeue_pi()
are only protected by pi_lock when operating pi waiters, while
rt_mutex_get_top_task(), will access them with rq lock held but
not holding pi_lock.

In order to tackle it, we introduce new "pi_top_task" pointer
cached in task_struct, and add new rt_mutex_update_top_task()
to update its value, it can be called by rt_mutex_setprio()
which held both owner's pi_lock and rq lock. Thus "pi_top_task"
can be safely accessed by enqueue_task_dl() under rq lock.

One problem is when rt_mutex_adjust_prio()->...->rt_mutex_setprio(),
at that time rtmutex lock was released and owner was marked off,
this can cause "pi_top_task" dereferenced to be a running one(as it
can be falsely woken up by others before rt_mutex_setprio() is
made to update "pi_top_task"). We solve this by directly calling
__rt_mutex_adjust_prio() in mark_wakeup_next_waiter() which held
pi_lock and rtmutex lock, and remove rt_mutex_adjust_prio(). Since
now we moved the deboost point, in order to avoid current to be
preempted due to deboost earlier before wake_up_q(), we also moved
preempt_disable() before unlocking rtmutex.

v3 -> v4:
Cache a task_struct pi_top_task pointer instead of rt_mutex_waiter.
