Alexey Kuznetsov found some problems in the pi-futex code.
The major problem is a stale return value in rt_mutex_slowlock():
When the pi chain walk returns -EDEADLK, but the waiter was woken up during
the phases where the locks were dropped, the rtmutex could be acquired, but
due to the stale return value -EDEADLK returned to the caller.
Reset the return value in the retry path.
