[PATCH -rt] make spin_unlock to slab_spin_unlock

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

Ingo,

I hit this bug on one of my work test machines. This bug is probably what
caused my laptop to crash ever so often too, but since I don't have a
serial or other debug output, my laptop never showed what was wrong.

Here's the call trace:

------------[ cut here ]------------
kernel BUG at kernel/rtmutex.c:649!
invalid opcode: 0000 [1] PREEMPT SMP
CPU 2
[...]
Call Trace:

 [<ffffffff802600f8>] child_rip+0xa/0x12


Seems that the goto out of the loop was not updated to be a
slab_spin_unlock, so there was a way out that would not unlock the slab
cpu lock.
