locking/rtmutex: Handle non enqueued waiters gracefully in remove_waiter()

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 remove_waiter() must not be called 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 NULL check before calling rt_mutex_top_waiter() make
the function return NULL if there are no waiters. With that fixed the now
pointless NULL check is removed from rt_mutex_slowlock().
