Waiting for spinlocks and rwlocks on non RT enabled kernels is task::state preserving. Any wakeup which matches the state is valid. RT enabled kernels substitutes them with 'sleeping' spinlocks. This creates an issue vs. task::__state. In order to block on the lock, the task has to overwrite task::__state and a consecutive wakeup issued by the unlocker sets the state back to TASK_RUNNING. As a consequence the task loses the state which was set before the lock acquire and also any regular wakeup targeted at the task while it is blocked on the lock. To handle this gracefully, add a 'saved_state' member to task_struct which is used in the following way: 1) When a task blocks on a 'sleeping' spinlock, the current state is saved in task::saved_state before it is set to TASK_RTLOCK_WAIT. 2) When the task unblocks and after acquiring the lock, it restores the saved state. 3) When a regular wakeup happens for a task while it is blocked then the state change of that wakeup is redirected to operate on task::saved_state. This is also required when the task state is running because the task might have been woken up from the lock wait and has not yet restored the saved state. To make it complete, provide the necessary helpers to save and restore the saved state along with the necessary documentation how the RT lock blocking is supposed to work. For non-RT kernels there is no functional change.
