[PATCH -rt] rtmutex: enable deadlock detection in ww_mutex_lock functions

From: Gustavo Bittencourt
Date: Tue Jan 27 2015 - 10:57:00 EST


According the ww-mutex-design.txt documentation, the
ww_mutex_lock_interruptible and ww_mutex_lock functions should return -EDEADLK
when faced with a deadlock. To do so, the detect_deadlock flag in the
rt_mutex_slowlock calls should be enabled. This patch corrects potential
deadlocks when running PREEMPT_RT with nouveau driver.

PS: Sorry to post again, CC'ing -rt maintainers now.
