That's actively wrong. You reinitialize the lock for all other cases
which call this via rt_mutex_init(). There is a reason why I moved the
spin lock initializer out of __rt_mutex_init() into
rt_mutex_init(). The lock name stuff for lockdep ends up to be
"lock->wait_lock" for all rt_mutexes, which is pretty useless when you
have to analyze a lockdep splat. Thanks for finding it nevertheless.

So the correct fix is:
