[PATCH 3/3] locking: rtmutex: set state back to running on error

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri Feb 27 2015 - 11:57:27 EST


The "usual" path is:
- rt_mutex_slowlock()
- set_current_state()
- task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() (ret 0)
- __rt_mutex_slowlock()
- sleep or not but do return with __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING)
- back to caller.

In the early error case where task_blocks_on_rt_mutex() return -EDEADLK
we never change the task's state back to RUNNING. I assume this is
intended. Without this change after ww_mutex using rt_mutex the selftest
passes but later I get plenty of
| bad: scheduling from the idle thread!
backtraces.
