[PATCH] rtmutex: Consider deadline tasks in try_to_take_rt_mutex()

From: Xunlei Pang
Date: Wed Apr 06 2016 - 09:07:09 EST


If mutliple tasks contest try_to_take_rt_mutex(), it should
let the high-priority task acquire the lock, but it misses
the deadline tasks in the following condition:
if (task->prio >= rt_mutex_top_waiter(lock)->prio)
return 0;

Deadline tasks all have "-1" prio, so above logic will always
return 0, this is wrong.

To solve this, we added extra deadline comparing, and let the
task with smaller deadline win, or the top waiter win if equal.
