This patch fixes
1) The timeout bug in rtmutexes and PI futexes: When a task is blocked on a
lock with timeout and times out it will not wakeup until the owner of the lock
is done. This is because the owner is boosted to the same priority as the
blocked task and therefore has the CPU such the blocked task never gets around
to de-boost it!
2) setscheduler() now does the PI walking - but defers the work to the blocked
task.
3) In general it makes sure that a task, which is boosting another has enough
priority to do the de-boosting no matter how complicated the lock structure is,
or how many times the priorities have changed.
The idea behind the patch is simple:
If a task is boosting another it is scheduled in LIFO order and it will never
loose it's priority. This property lasts until it has left the lock operation
(successfully or not).
The needed priority to do the unboosting is stored in task->boosting_prio.
In the current patch this is always increasing (numerically decreasing) while
trying to take a lock. In a future it might be found safe to decrease
boosting_prio before finally leaving the lock operation.
