    rtmutex: update rt-mutex · 68a1e349

    The rtmutex remove a pending owner bit in in rt_mutex::owner, in
    commit 8161239a ("rtmutex: Simplify PI algorithm and make highest prio task get lock")
    But the document was changed accordingly. Updating it to a meaningful
    state.
    
    BTW, as 'Steven Rostedt' mentioned:
    There is still technically a "Pending Owner", it's just not called
    that anymore. The pending owner happens to be the top_waiter of a lock
    that has no owner and has been woken up to grab the lock.
