Subject: [PATCH v2 2/6] locking/rtmutex: Avoid unconditional slowpath for DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES

With DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES enabled the fast-path rt_mutex_cmpxchg_acquire()
always fails and all lock operations take the slow path.

Provide a new helper inline rt_mutex_try_acquire() which maps to
rt_mutex_cmpxchg_acquire() in the non-debug case. For the debug case
it invokes rt_mutex_slowtrylock() which can acquire a non-contended
rtmutex under full debug coverage.
