[patch V4 18/68] locking/rtmutex: Add wake_state to rt_mutex_waiter

Regular sleeping locks like mutexes, rtmutexes and rw_semaphores are always
entering and leaving a blocking section with task state == TASK_RUNNING.

On a non-RT kernel spinlocks and rwlocks never affect the task state, but
on RT kernels these locks are converted to rtmutex based 'sleeping' locks.

So in case of contention the task goes to block which requires to carefully
preserve the task state and restore it after acquiring the lock taking
regular wakeups for the task into account which happened while the task was
blocked. This state preserving is achieved by having a separate task state
for blocking on a RT spin/rwlock and a saved_state field in task_struct
along with careful handling of these wakeup scenarios in try_to_wake_up().

To avoid conditionals in the rtmutex code, store the wake state which has
to be used for waking a lock waiter in rt_mutex_waiter which allows to
handle the regular and RT spin/rwlocks by handing it to wake_up_state().
