kernel/futex: Kill rt_mutex_next_owner()
Update wake_futex_pi() and kill the call altogether. This is possible because: (i) The case of fixup_owner() in which the pi_mutex was stolen from the signaled enqueued top-waiter which fails to trylock and doesn't see a current owner of the rtmutex but needs to acknowledge an non-enqueued higher priority waiter, which is the other alternative. This used to be handled by rt_mutex_next_owner(), which guaranteed fixup_pi_state_owner('newowner') never to be nil. Nowadays the logic is handled by an EAGAIN loop, without the need of rt_mutex_next_owner(). Specifically: c1e2f0ea (futex: Avoid violating the 10th rule of futex) 9f5d1c33 (futex: Handle transient "ownerless" rtmutex state correctly) (ii) rt_mutex_next_owner() and rt_mutex_top_waiter() are semantically equivalent, as of: c28d62cf (locking/rtmutex: Handle non enqueued waiters gracefully in remove_waiter()) So instead of keeping the call around, just use the good ole rt_mutex_top_waiter(). No change in semantics.
