    locking/rtmutex: Implement lockless top-waiter wakeup · 45ab4eff

    Mark the task for later wakeup after the wait_lock has been released.
    This way, once the next task is awoken, it will have a better chance
    to of finding the wait_lock free when continuing executing in
    __rt_mutex_slowlock() when trying to acquire the rtmutex, calling
    try_to_take_rt_mutex(). Upon contended scenarios, other tasks attempting
    take the lock may acquire it first, right after the wait_lock is released,
    but (a) this can also occur with the current code, as it relies on the
    spinlock fairness, and (b) we are dealing with the top-waiter anyway,
    so it will always take the lock next.
