[PATCH RT 05/36] rtmutex: No need to keep task ref for lock owner check

[Steven Rostedt]

3.12.38-rt53-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: 2ffa5a5cd2fe792b6399c903d5172adf088d8ff7

There is no point to keep the task ref across the check for lock
owner. Drop the ref before that, so the protection context is clear.

Found while documenting the chain walk.
