Subject: [PATCH 066/191] futex: Fix bug on when a requeued RT task times out

Requeue with timeout causes a bug with PREEMPT_RT.

The bug comes from a timed out condition.

	TASK 1				TASK 2
	------				------
    futex_wait_requeue_pi()
	futex_wait_queue_me()
	<timed out>

					double_lock_hb();

	raw_spin_lock(pi_lock);
	if (current->pi_blocked_on) {
	} else {
	    current->pi_blocked_on = PI_WAKE_INPROGRESS;
	    run_spin_unlock(pi_lock);
	    spin_lock(hb->lock); <-- blocked!

					plist_for_each_entry_safe(this) {
					    rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock();
						task_blocks_on_rt_mutex();
						BUG_ON(task->pi_blocked_on)!!!!

The BUG_ON() actually has a check for PI_WAKE_INPROGRESS, but the
problem is that, after TASK 1 sets PI_WAKE_INPROGRESS, it then tries to
grab the hb->lock, which it fails to do so. As the hb->lock is a mutex,
it will block and set the "pi_blocked_on" to the hb->lock.

When TASK 2 goes to requeue it, the check for PI_WAKE_INPROGESS fails
because the task1's pi_blocked_on is no longer set to that, but instead,
set to the hb->lock.

The fix:

When calling rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() a check is made to see
if the proxy tasks pi_blocked_on is set. If so, exit out early.
Otherwise set it to a new flag PI_REQUEUE_INPROGRESS, which notifies
the proxy task that it is being requeued, and will handle things
appropriately.
