rtmutex: Plug slow unlock race

Browse source 
When the rtmutex fast path is enabled the slow unlock function can
create the following situation:

spin_lock(foo->m->wait_lock);
foo->m->owner = NULL;
	    			rt_mutex_lock(foo->m); <-- fast path
				free = atomic_dec_and_test(foo->refcnt);
				rt_mutex_unlock(foo->m); <-- fast path
				if (free)
				   kfree(foo);

spin_unlock(foo->m->wait_lock); <--- Use after free.

Plug the race by changing the slow unlock to the following scheme:

     while (!rt_mutex_has_waiters(m)) {
     	    /* Clear the waiters bit in m->owner */
	    clear_rt_mutex_waiters(m);
      	    owner = rt_mutex_owner(m);
      	    spin_unlock(m->wait_lock);
      	    if (cmpxchg(m->owner, owner, 0) == owner)
      	       return;
      	    spin_lock(m->wait_lock);
     }

So in case of a new waiter incoming while the owner tries the slow
path unlock we have two situations:

 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
 cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) == owner
 	    	   			mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
	 				acquire(lock);

Or:

 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
	 				mark_rt_mutex_waiters(lock);
 cmpxchg(p, owner, 0) != owner
					enqueue_waiter();
					unlock(wait_lock);
 lock(wait_lock);
 wakeup_next waiter();
 unlock(wait_lock);
					lock(wait_lock);
					acquire(lock);

If the fast path is disabled, then the simple

   m->owner = NULL;
   unlock(m->wait_lock);

is sufficient as all access to m->owner is serialized via
m->wait_lock;

Also document and clarify the wakeup_next_waiter function as suggested
by Oleg Nesterov.
