Subject: [PATCH RT] locking/rtmutex: Clean ->pi_blocked_on in the error case

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>

The function rt_mutex_wait_proxy_lock() cleans ->pi_blocked_on in case
of failure (timeout, signal). The same cleanup is required in
__rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock().
In both the cases the tasks was interrupted by a signal or timeout while
acquiring the lock and after the interruption it longer blocks on the
lock.

Fixes: 1a1fb985f2e2b ("futex: Handle early deadlock return correctly")
Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@...radead.org>

---

This means I'm going to revert the raw_spinlock_t changes to
futex_hash_bucket, add back all futex fixes we had and put this one on
top.
